In the photo of the guts of the chassis, what looks to be hot snot (glue gun) is some kind of rubbery silicon.
Like I said gents, I was turning the center fine tuning control and kind of jumped out in my hand. I havent lost any ball bearings, clips or anything else because I haven't moved the radio. So whatever is in there is still in there.
I didn't hear any expensive sounds or broken metal sounds.
It was so gooey and gummed up as I was turning it it just dislocated. The black crap on the shaft only dissolved with WD-40.
Any bodge wire the last clown used I have a stash of cloth like covered copper wire salvaged from a domestic kitchen oven which is both old timey looking and high heat rated probably silicone core high voltage stuff.
