Philco Model 16B Cathedral
#35

Thank you Nathan and Morzh for the links. I knew that I saw it somewhere! I had forgotten about the oil filter gaskets. I suppose I will have to pick up a filter. Although the large cross section O-ring seems to be working. The knurl on the tuning shaft is riding on a tangent of the round O-ring surface, not on the largest part of the ring. I don't know how long that will last.

I must apologize for some of the last post regarding the mounting of the tuning dial. In reality, the mask goes behind the dial, not in front of it. (I don't know what I was thinking!) So the felt pads will not ride on the printed face of the dial. The interference with the rivets used to attach the dial are with the tuning bracket, not the shaft end.  The rivets (or screw heads, if used) must be peened to within about 1/16"-3/32" above the back side of the tuning wheel surface to get enough clearance to clear the tuning bracket.

The lamps for the tuning meter and dial originally had a fish paper mask on the lamp assemblies to prevent the light from leaking around the back side of the lamps. One was completely gone and the other just crumbled. I am going to try to fashion a similar mask from some thin fish paper and bond it to the back side of the lamp assembly.
