I agree that the Tri Flow methods “works”.
However, any time I do a PTO in any radio that I intend to SELL, I always
disassemble the PTO, clean it completely, inspect all of the parts, lube with
high temperature grease, and resemble.
I just did a Century 21. It took 2 hours, start to finish. Works like new.
