@RadioRoslyn-
Hi Terry,
I have a Crosley 601 Bandbox. This may be the same radio that you are talking about. One of my first experiences with pot metal in an antique radio. It is a total mess. Tuning caps, pulleys, bracket for tuning knob pinion and shaft, all Pot Metal, all crumbled. I will eventually get around to fixing it, in a manner similar to you- replacing the crumbled caps with AK units. I have plenty of them, but not enough pulleys.
Of course, I can't find the website or the link, but there was a guy who actually rebuilt the caps using washers and parts cut from Corian. He made the pulleys from Corian.
