I would be very tempted to Google this and try Eham.

I found this on a google search.

Ride at your own risk, but it might be worth a try:

Quote:

Some FT-840 owners have experienced the VFO tuning knob freezing or locking up. 3 owners have taken the tuning knob off, and applied a thin lubricant on the shaft between the shaft and bearing to correct the problem. A quick, simple, and cheap fix.

End quote

Hope that helps a bit.

(The MODS DK site has several entries about issues with the FT-840, but there's no mention of this phenomenon. Might be worth a squint?).
