K35454,

RHF: I checked out your reference. It seems to be direct
drive.
Somebody on the Sat800 group on Yahoo had tuning knob trouble a
while back which was cured by purchasing a new genuine replacement
from Universal Radio. That firm appears to be the only "approved"
source for parts and service. k35454.

K35454,

Taking-Off the Tuning Knob from one of my
Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium Radios :
I examined it to find :

1 - The Encoder uses a Standard Notched "D" Shaft
that is made of Black Plastic.

2 - Around the Shaft is a 1/2" Brass Collar {Tube}

3 - Looking at the Back of the Tuning Knob : There
is the Metal Outer Knob; with a White Plastic Insert;
plus a Metal Ball-Bearing; and a White Plastic "D"
Hole to slide-on-to the Black Plastic Notched "D" Shaft .

4 - The Inner Race of the Metal Ball-Bearing fits-over
the the Outer-Diameter of the Brass Collar; this is a
Snug-Fit -not- Pinched-Fit.

5 - The Mechanical-Load of the Tuning-Knob is born
by the Metal Ball-Bearing and the Brass Collar; and
the Black Plastic Notched "D" Shaft just goes along
for the ride.

NOTE - This is not simply a Metal Tuning Knob -it-is-
a Tuning Knob "Assembly" made of Metal, Plastic
and Ball-Bearing.

FWIW - The "Variable" Turning Rate Function of the
Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium Radio's Tuning Knob
does not come from the Knob or Shaft -but- from the
Function of the Turning Encoder 'itself' detecting' the
"Rate-or-Turn" of the Tuning Knob :
* Slowing-down the Frequency Display Change
when the Tuning Knob is turned 'slowly'.
* Normal Frequency Display Change when the
Tuning Knob is turned 'normally'.
* Accellerating the Frequency Display Change
when the Tuning Knob is turned 'rapidly'.
