Hi all: <br/><br/>Just gotta question about the roller inductor assemblies in manual tuners.<br/>As periodic maintenance, do you have to clean and re_oil certain components? <br/>I feel lately I'm getting handed BS as it relates to my MFJ-986. <br/>A couple of locals, including a friend of mine who helps me from time to time, tells me that you don't have to clean and re_oil the roller inductor or other components because they are sealed. <br/>So what am I to take from that is, throw my tuner away because MFJ and I concur that the roller inductor maybe pitted and the contact wheel isn't making a full proper contact and that's why I'm getting that blasted 75M issue. LOL <br/>I can get the part from MFJ for 63.50USD plus shipping and exchange and I think that would be considerably cheaper then sending my tuner to Toronto Ontario for repairs. <br/>After the contest this weekend, I'm gonna have to just open that sucker up and get my XYL to look at things
 while I rotate the roller to see if there's any skipping. Is there anything else I should look for? <br/><br/>73: <br/>Mike VO1AX <br/><a href="https://overview.mail.yahoo.com?.src=iOS"><br/><br/>Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone</a>
