Tuning Instability: 1936 Philco 60B Cathedral
#9

Quote:Do you know who or where I can find the "in spec" replacement rubber spacers /grommets that we will need to remount the variable cap after it is pulled and cleaned so that it has attain the proper height to properly display in the tuning dial in the escutcheon?

Please see the link I posted in my reply, in post #7 above.

Removal and reinstallation of the variable condenser in model 60 is very easy; nothing complicated about it other than keeping those two-piece rubber grommets in place as you attach the mounting bolts.

Alignment is not difficult either, provided you have a good signal generator. If you don't, then perhaps sending the set to a professional would be a good idea.
