Put it all together. Put the two little ball bearings and spring in a baggie.
And the shaft and center knob is just laying in the hole. Going to put a piece of double-sided tape in there to keep the center knob inside the course tuning knob for "looks".

Course tuning works much better after I cleaned everything and oiled it. But fine control is defunct.
I don't think fine control is really needed on the AM band anyways.

Radio works. My sledgehammer almost came out to play over this.
