I have completely recapped this radio and am currently waiting for a replacement pilot light socket for the tuning dial, because the original dial light socket was broken at the socket itself. One question I have is about the rubber tire that is used with the tuning knob to rotate the tuning dial, mine is no longer capable of rotating the tuning dial anymore (it slips and has no grip anymore besides having a groove worn into it from the traction teeth on the tuning dial assembly, and I was wondering what would be a good substitute for the original rubber tire from the tuning knob? I was thinking of using a rubber grommet that was similar in size to the original rubber tire when it comes to the inner and outer diameter but I'm not sure if the groove cut into the grommet for allowing it to be mounted into a hole on a metal chassis would be able to grip the tuning dial assembly's traction teeth.
