Hi John,
I know it's been a long time since this was posted, but I have a Truetone 727 a lady wanted me to repair. It has all the buttons on it and I'd be happy to send photos and measurements.

That thing is quite a beast. I know the trans is ok, and the motor tuning does work, however it slips a little on the tiny gear.
I might be able to slightly move the gear housing over a couple of mm to make it mesh again.
The tuning ring, I am still going to have to figure it out. I see other models have the same setup.
Will get back to you ASAP.
Gary.
