My analog tuner drifts off the station


I have a nice Kenwood KT 615 tuner that I bought off a technician who had cleaned it up and replaced the caps. It works well and sounds great but it loses stations pretty quickly, usually within about 10-15 minutes. This happens for both strong and weak signals and I have tried all combinations of the filter and selectivity buttons with no apparent improvement.

Is there anything that can be done about this or do I need to get a digital tuner that locks on the station?

I suspect that the cable that attaches to your tuning knob needs adjustment. It can be either too tight or not tight enough.
Tell him or another tech of your problem.I did what you did with a 8300[tuneup] basically and no drifting has occured yet[1 year].....they like working on those old Kenwoods,at least this one did.......good luck,Bob
Look for a button on the front panel that says "PLL" (phase locked loop). FM naturally drifts out-of-tune so the PLL curcuit was developed to correct this.
Hope this helps...
Your analog tuner drifts off the station???

Is that audiospeak for "one beer short of a six-pack"?
