Hi , I picked up a Philco 90 this weekend and in checking it out I find the tuning cap is stuck in the fully closed position. When turning the knob the the dial moves and there is a click noise but the cap itself doesn't move. it's almost as if it was turned all the way to one end too much and became undone.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Henry
