Oh - I remember that cabinet.

You are correct, Steve; the extra hole above the normal hole for the tuning shaft was there because some previous owner decided to remove the two-speed tuning assembly and connect a 1/4" shaft direct to the tuning condenser. It wasn't pretty. All of that was repaired, the tuning assembly was restored to its original design, and works fine now.

Good luck - if anyone can fix it, you can! Icon_thumbup
