I recently acquired a Philco model 40-100 farm (battery) radio. The radio was in very good condition except the red on flag that shows up through a hole in the middle of the dial scale when the radio is turned on does not work.  There is a wire spring loaded linkage that goes down beside the volume control that should activate(raise) the flag by turning the on/off/volume control to the on position. I believe that there must be a missing part of some type that makes contact with the volume control shaft. I have not been able to find any information or picture as to how this feature works. If anyone could give me some information or photo as to how this works or if there is a work around to make this operate it would be greatly appreciated. I am assuming that if there is a missing part that it would probably be next to impossible to find a replacement. So maybe a work around may be possible?

Thanks,
