Yaesu frg100 vfo seized, Damaged vfo disc? :/
Help please My tuning knob on my frg100 seized solid last night, i stripped it down cleaned, greased and sorted it. However on stripdown the silver disc in the vfo unit bent. Now i can't move through the frequencies. Would damage to the silver disc cause this?

I've seen this before with IC735 optical encoders.
Yes damage to the disc or misaligned optical parts will cause this. You can flatten out the disk in an attempt to restore it:
1. Place the disk inside a folded piece of kitchen roll, soaked in IPA.
2. Put this between two flat, smooth pieces of metal. Heavier the better.
3. Place the stack on a very sturdy surface, then strike it hard with a heavy hammer several times
4. Inspect disk, repeat if necessary.
Avoid directly bending or manipulating the disk with tools, unless you are very careful you will cause more damage.
