Loose tuning capacitor on model 70
#6

Also, these type tuning-condensers can be "sturdied-up" again by using careful - installation of neoprene-type faucet-washers avail at Home-Depot, Lowes, etc, found in the rubber faucet-washers section of the Plmg Depts. A little drilling-out the center holes abit, and proper "shimming to proper-height" by adding flat type and tapered-type rubber neoprene washers, can yield yrs of trouble-free service! Just make sure you take into consideration, proper "height" of the tuning condenser once re=positioned properly for cabinet-holes shaft-spacing after repairs. Neoprene rubber lasts forever and wont shrink due to age from heat generated inside the Radio Cabinet. This method of repair has worked many-times for me in the past! Good luck with your restorations! Icon_wink
