Thanks Mike. (And John, and Gary.) That's what I was afraid of regarding the Bakelite.

I'll likely try the J-B Weld as I don't think I have any Teflon tape. Hmmm...I'll have to check and see. If it doesn't work, I'll add the external trimmer capacitor later.

This is a cheap radio, but it does have separate adjustments for low and high AM, which is unusual - most cheap radios eliminated the low end AM adjustment to save $$$$.
