I decided to take a different path, and disassembled the tuning mechanism. Well sort of. I don't intend on completely disassembling the auto tuning mechanism. I want to remove it in one piece. My mechanical abilities are lacking! Icon_sad

Nonetheless, I can't remove the stationary ring contact, and this is keeping me from removing the entire mechanism in one piece! Icon_evil Is complete dis assembly necessary for it's removal? I hope not!

I do have the procedures, Chuck has shared, and I've read it. It states to tear apart the entire mechanism when changing the contact ring, but it looks like it's doable without?

Edit: I bit the bullet and disassembled. It wasn't that hard to do, and the retaining rings were a snap (no pun intended) to remove. I'm glad I did cuz I got it cleaned and greased. Also was able to access the magnetic tuning. The shutters, or whatever they are called, were stuck. Got 'em moving smooth now.

To my dismay, I ordered a replacement dial, and Mark is out of them until sometime this winter!
