Yes, that is correct.
What you are looking at is the calibration movement/adjustment between =
the tuning knob and the tuning knob outer ring.
Swith on calibrator, tune to zero beat, hold knob stationary, then move =
outter ring for the readout to equal zero. (or 25, 50 75 Khz)
You will see that the pin has altered its position...it is only a =
friction grip controlled by the internal rubberised ring sitting between =
the outer knob trim and the first gear of the VFO gear train.
Best regards, BrianB.

  Hi,
  If you look at the picture below (or =
http://ftp.gravitywell.org/radio/drake/vfo004.jpg if the mailinglist =
removes images)
  you there is only one plastic pin for the rotating metal pin to push =
against, which means there's a whole turn where
  there is no drive on the scale , but the VFO itself is turning so you =
cant really tell the exact frequency...
  I cant see any markings from a broken plastic pin either, but I guess =
the metal pin should be placed between two
  plastic pins on the gear. Is this correct?=20
  Cheers
  //Greg
