Default JR servo chatter

I've got a JR servo that is a number of years old now and has given excellent service to date. The model number came off a couple of years ago, and I don't remember what it was, but the servo is metal-gear, coreless, and high speed. I remember that it had 88in.oz of torque.

The problem is that it has begun to chatter, as a servo does when it's under load pretty much all the time when it is sitting a neutral. It's possible to get it to stop by putting a little pressure on the surface it's attached to in the direction away from the one that is causing the chatter, but as soon as you move the sticks and it returns to neutral it will begin to chatter again. The chatter is not consistent, but pretty much always there.

My questions are: What is likely wrong? What is required to fix it? What kind of cost is likely to be involved? Is it worth fixing?

Other than the chatter it still works well.

Thanks,

Dave Leppard
