Thanks for that Boater Sam. I spent more time on it having serviced the back bearing and with the problem moving down the scale I decided it was obviously to do with tuning cap. I greased the front bearing, no difference. When I first started on the radio I noticed the clutch on the tuning cap was slack so with that in mind I tightened further, the back bearing by another half turn and wallah the problem solved. There is obviously a slightly out of true vane on the cap and by slight adjustment it centred the vanes and gave more clearance. I had already inspected and brushed and blown out (gently) any dust between them.
