Had a mishap yesterday. one of the compression trimmers mounted on the back panel is seized - this has obviously been a problem in the past, as the screw was broken, leaving only half a slot. I have been able to take it out of the radio, and remove the screw , but it was very very hard to do, and resulted in the brass bushing separating from the ceramic body...
A replacement trimmer has been ordered, but I freed up the threads, and will try gluing the parts back together. It might just work... I don't like losing original parts, but when things are 80 years old, there are no guarantees.
I did remove the tuning dial, and the derusting continues

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
