From my original post:

With the compact kind we should obtain detuning if lube does not evaporate
completely (@ohg). Also because is auto lock-in substantial wiggle is
built-in already. As demonstrated in the video linked by you.
I remember tune-in always has been a bit odd with Model One. But video in
my original post shows tuning in vastly improved after cleansing. Or so I
assume since you mentioned background noise should not be an issue with
compact tuners.
Streaming to it I believed to be the definitive answer to this kind of
issue. Unfortunately reality hit me.
