Hello OM Ric, C6ANI
I had the same thing happen to my FT-1000D a few years ago.
It can be fixed, but you have to remove the VFO Encoder from
the front panel. Swing down/open the front panel, remove the knob, and then
remove the encoder. Spray some WD40 onto the shaft where it enters
the encoder. Try turning the shaft. If loose, spray a little more at the
same spot and turn the shaft. If the shaft doesn't turn, put a lamp
near the encoder and warm it up. Then try the WD40 again.
The bearings stick or get some crud in there and jam up ....
Let me know how our do ....
