Sinisa,

I guess you like your knobs freer than I do. I have ever so slight a drag.
Hold the knob skirt and rotate the knob to the right and it will increase
the drag. My knobs never drift.

Has anyone suceeded in balancing Orion 565 VFO knobs?

On my Orion 565, both VFO knobs (when left to themselves) return
to the same angular position, which is precisely the same on both encoder
shafts.

I'd guess this means that VFO knobs are actually cast unbalanced,
and no attempt is made to balance them later.
