I have a newly restored model 70 cathedral I've been working on for some time. Not in any rush just a hobby. Anyway, it plays nicely but when I turn the tuning knob it sometimes slips. I was looking at the mechanism which is a spring loaded "clutch". The hole in the very front were the the tuning shaft exits seems to be oval, vertically. When I push down on the shaft it no longer slips. Is it worn oval or is that how it was manufactured? If it's worn, can it be repaired and how? Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me. Thanks.
