Mike,

I know there could be any number of things going on with an old tuner 
that has had several owners. My recollection from a month or 2 ago is 
that you had someone peek inside,  and he thought it looked ok and  you 
buttoned it back up.

If that is the case, I'd probably try  cleaning the roller and wheel. 
What else have you got to lose?  Having said that, I think you will be 
happy with an auto tuner and I've heard lot's of good things about LDG 
tuners.   If money is no object, spring for a new tuner.   Otherwise, 
try giving the other one a little clean up.
