Need help with Kenwood R-1000 receiver

[K8CIT]

Hello all.  Any Kenwood R-1000 guru's out there?  I recently bought one and need help with the following:
1.  The digital dial reads 100 KHz lower than the analog dial.
2.  The S meter is pegged way to the left.  It's not stuck as it will bounce up a bit if the meter face is tapped.
3.  The attenuator control knob has lost it's connection to the switch.  The shaft coupling has broken.
Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks and 73, Art K8CIT

Good day,
I think I can help with problem no. 1. While holding the plastic tuning knob on a digital setting e.g 5000, rotate the silver anologue dial (against slight resistance) to coincide with the same frequency on the anologue dial, in this case on zero. That should do it.
Rergards,
Charles

Kenwood Clif is the guru here. And his call sign escapes me.

Where is the RF Gain set? It should be full clockwise.

Hello all.  Any Kenwood R-1000 guru's out there?  I recently bought one and need help with the following:

Read The Fine Manual  -- get a copy of the Manual and read it to see how to twist the analog dial to match the digital readout.

2.  The S meter is pegged way to the left.  It's not stuck as it will bounce up a bit if the meter face is tapped.

RF Gain Control must be full clockwise to use the S meter. 

3.  The attenuator control knob has lost it's connection to the switch.  The shaft coupling has broken.

Repair of replace broken shaft coupling.

I don't think the R1000 has an RF Gain control... 

A suitable coupler may be available from K4EAA.

Somewhere I've seen a source for plastic flexible replacement couplers, but I couldn't find it.

Messed up on that one. No RF Gain control (pointed out) and meter stuck to left, not right. Now I'm out of ideas for a simple fix. Just have to start browsing around with a voltmeter.
