Philco model 70 rebuild - by Tim P.
#4

I have what looks like the same radio right now on my bench. It is the early 70 model (24A tubes, no AVC). I am having a problem with my tuning knob in that it slips at various points on the dial. The knob will turn but it slips where it rotates against the big metal disc attached to the tuning capacitor shaft.

I was wondering if yours does this also.

I have not figured out a way yet to keep mine from slipping.

Do others with this radio have this problem?

Mine came to me all re-capped already. I just had to replace the tuning capacitor rubber suspension grommets and deal with this slipping issue.
