Knob shaft doesn't turn tuning coil
#1

Finally brought the Philco 71 back after a stay at my buddy's place getting repaired. Once home, I hooked it up to my signal generator to get it fine tuned. Turned the knob to the bottom of the AM band to run the signal test, but I went a little too far past the end of the dial. Suddenly, I couldn't tune the radio anymore even though the knob still wound. I assumed the dial cord had come off it's pulley, but that wasn't the case. Seems the shaft that the knob sits on no longer turns the turning coil. I can move the coil manually and everything works fine, but the knob shaft only spins by itself.

Any ideas on what might have happened or how to fix this?
