hi folks, in my model 4000 there is evidence that one of the mode lamps blew up violently. it put burn marks and some texture on the underside of the tuner rail, where a little white sleeve, possibly nylon, inside the indicator body is supposed to glide over the steel.
i cleaned the rail at length with 0000 steel wool, though access is poor, and it feels pretty damn smooth. the inner sleeve looks good and is clean. i put some silicone lubricant on the steel. however, the indicator still hangs up at that spot (it actually rotates predictably as it hits the unevenness where the explosion happened).
what is the recommended lubricant? should i try to slightly open up the indicator body? thanks for any tips.
