Btw, the thread you provided me (https://philcoradio.com/repairbench/tips/svctip39.htm) with the service hint & tip on refurbishing this tuning shaft was written by "Tom Burke" in 2004. I don't find a Tom Burke listed as a user her on this site. Perhaps he was an employee of Westridge Consulting who copyrighted the article.
He's the guy who used his own lath to refinish what he called the "end-ball". It would be nice to be able to ask him if that ball came apart from the shaft. It reads like it did not.
