Good luck. Not sure parts are available at all, so you may be "stuck", no pun
intended, with reusing what you got, after a thorough cleaning. I know I
cleaned up my D a few years ago, and i probably need to do it again--not sure
if it's wear or I just didn't get it clean enough.
Failing that, might want to look into an external VFO. Might be a bit less
scary to pull an external one apart, or perhaps just go hog wild on a digital
VFO.
I believe K1OPQ has had some good luck with tri-flow (a lube meant for bicycle
chains), a bit dripped in. Perhaps standing the radio on its rear, couple
drops into the PTO (after removing the knob), will help.
