Philco 91 Tuning Condenser
#1

Hello,

Does anyone know how the dial plate comes off the tuning condenser shaft? The dial itself id so warped I can't turn it very much. I have ordered a new one from Radio Daze so I am not concerned with destroying it. I'd like to take it totally apart so I can clean up the rust.

I just found a set screw. Was able to turn dial just enough to see it and loosen it. I have it off now.

I thought you meant the actual dial....there are rivets.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Nope it was the metal part. I got that off. In fact I took the whole thing apart. Pretty easy.
#5

Yes, in those it is.
In 20/90 it is a metal spring that holds the rotor in the cradles of the outer walls.
