Re: Trying to revive a Goodmans One Ten receiver
Yes the varcap was not sitting straight in the mount towards the chassis (as I posted a pic of a couple of posts ago)
But yesterday by adjusting the three mounting screws I got it sitting pretty straight. But you are right about the grommets being aged/compressed.
But afaik the pulley on the varcap is now straight and inline with the cord.
So I think the problem is either the two bearings were the pulley and varcaps is held in the varcap housing not running easy enough, or the cap fins having friction against eachother somehow.
But seems as if when I ad cleaner and lubrication to the bearing points this helps. Just that the effect doesn´t last.
...and this maybe in combination with the cord slipping.
Will investigate further.
