Yamaha CR-420 Tuner

[KingTrev]

Good day AK,

Hopefully I'm posting this in the right spot. I recently picked up a CR-420 and it is working wonderfully, the only thing I can find on it that isn't quite right is the position of the tuner pointer. It reads about 0.3 Mhz high (shifted to the right)

It gets perfectly clear stereo reception and pulls in stations much further away than any of my other receivers, so I don't want to do anything that will mess it up. When the dial is moved to the extreme ends, it goes a little further on one side than it does on the other, and the AM dial is off by the exact same distance as the FM dial, so I think it is just a matter of the physical position of the pointer.

So my question: is there a relatively easy way to just move/adjust the position of the pointer without affecting anything else?

Any and all advice appreciated.

Nope. CR-420 is a Yamaha receiver. ie. Yamaha forum. You can try to reposition the pointer on the dial cord.

Just wondering what the method of doing so is. I guess I'll repost in the correct place. Thanks.

IME, threads about the tuner part of a receiver are considered fully appropriate under the rules of the Tuner forum. I'm sure though that re-positioning a dial pointer can be handled here in the Yamaha forum.

I see punker X frequently opine about receivers in the tuner forum. IMHO it Macht nichts!

AFAIK, the posts that get yanked from Tuners are the receiver questions that are not related to the tuner. But we can let Punker say what is what.

BTW the answer to this that, at least in some cases, it is possible to just move the pointer on the string...but it is made somewhat difficult by the tension on the string. It's not something I have done, so I'll leave it at that.

I am sure it is possible, and there must be someone on AK who knows the trick.........
