I just replaced the 2 smaller O-rings on the tuning adjustment for my 44B. Many thanks to the article in the Shop Talk/Techniques area for showing this in great detail and making it very simple!
Now the Large rubber gasket/belt/O-Ring on the tuning dial needs done also. I have the replacement ready to go. However, the existing one is hard as a rock, and I am fearful while trying to "dig" this off, I will damage the Dial.
The attached picture shows that there are 7 brass rivets that I could remove to prevent this potential catastrophe, but then how to re-attach the dial? I don't have small rivets, or a tool. Would a small self-tapping sheet metal screw work? If the heads stick out, will they be restricted by the cabinet when trying to rotate?
Other suggestions?
Need some tips from the Experts!
Thanks in advance.
