Next project: Western Air Patrol

It looks like the trimmer fix will be a good one. If not replacements are coming. New dial cord for the tuning control to tuner operation, but it will have to wait until the dial is returned to the radio. The pointer has its own cord, at much lower tension, and this seems to be fine.

The tuning shaft assembly was removed and disassembled, A good clean, deburring the retaining clips and re-lubing with fresh grease brought this back to silky smooth rotation again. A little oil was also applied carefully to the bandswitch and tone control shaft bushings. This made a nice improvement to their operability.

Not much else to report, save the last stages of the battle with rust. I hope to have some pictures to share tomorrow.
