    I would say  the same as the rest of the guys .  It sounds like there is dirt  or something  in the tuning condenser.
    I have had cases where it looks like there is nothing in there , but after a through cleaning it was fine. You might have to get some pipe cleaners and carefully clean especially on the bottom , where the dirt could gather..
