1934 16B 5 band
#34

Yesterday I jumped in with both feet and removed the tuning cap. I was quite surprised how dirty it was even though I "cleaned" it while it was in the set. Lots of q tips later it was reasonably much cleaned. Didn't do much with the two back sections just cleaned around as much as I could without monkeying up the the trimmers. Did drill out the  rivets that hold the rotor forks and removed them for a clean. They had this hardened black crud on them that was a little difficult to remove. The two oscillator trimmer came apart which was part of this operation to see if I could get bands 4/5 work properly. Was using MEK for this job and was still a bit of a job. Replaced the rivets with small screws and solder on the pigtails to reconnect the cap to the set.

Still had the problem with 2nd gear on the dual spd dial drive. 1st gear was ok when I got it with a new o ring. The small o ring someone tried to "fix" it by slipping a larger o ring over the bad original one. That had to go. I found a little box of o rings and found one the fit just dandy, but it wasn't tall enough to meet the drive shaft. Hmmm... The only other ones I had that were close were these red garden hose washers. Too thick and too tall. It met Mr Dermel. Was able to narrow the inside lip to fit the hub and then mounted it and spun it on my drill up against a piece of sandpaper to decrease the height. Now both speeds are working swell!

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got it!
