It isn't so much a problem of precision, it's the simple factor of an analog dial not being a perfect thing. To the human eye, the difference between 242 and 243 on that dial is almost imperceptible, you just have to "nudge" the tuner until the ADF needle swings.

I have two of these 614 tuners in the Sabreliner. I scoured ebay for months to find a tuner that uses digits for my old sim, haven't decided what route I will take on the Sabreliner. The cool thing that just begs me to make the original tuners work is that, for some reason, this plane had a neat add-on hanging off the glareshield: a small digital readout that can be switch between ADF1 and ADF2. Kinda takes out all the guesswork. :)
