Hello Bob. For the ball-bearings on the tuner section (variable capacitor), you can just spray a small amt of WD-40 into the bearings and the other frame points where the cap rotates, then rotate the tuner assy manually until it rotates freely and easily. Do this while set is unplugged & not operating. Remove the excess WD-40 overspray with clean paper towel or Q-tips. You should be good to go.
