The mechanics there is quite intricate.
For instance, the FM button will act as the gear shift and will switch the rotation from the AM bands pointer and the tuning cap to the FM band pointer and the FM tuning cap.
I will also need to lube mine: I stopped the shaft from making a squeaking sound, but need to lube the levers to make switching a bit more...silky
Well, it is good then if you hadn't started recapping as the mounting of the components is pretty involved: this is not your Philco 70 with an inch of space on each side of each component. This one is a cobweb. Closer to Transoceanics but even denser.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
