So, armed with a new rubber washer, I proceeded to cut another coupling.

It was a pain to get the washer installed into the dial drive under the chassis, but I finally managed.

I noticed when I removed the outer tuning shaft that it required some force to turn the shaft. So I removed the "C" retainer and pulled the shaft from the bushing. I cleaned it up, added some white lithium grease, and reinstalled into the bushing. Result: It turns very easily now. And with the new rubber coupling, the right side tuning works very well indeed.
I had to glue the pointer together, I shall see tomorrow once the glue dries how well it holds together. If it is OK, I will install the pointer and proceed to align the right side dial (five bands). Once that is done, the chassis will be complete.
