That took care of those trimmers -- thank you, thank you.

All the rest of the tuning worked as expected except for the very last step which is the 53S trimmer (32-2376) for the discriminator (6H6G) at 1,000KHz in the broadcast band.  The magnetic tuning switch is turned off (PHILCO SERVICE HINTS & TIPS - NUMBER 33).  Turning the trimmer seems to have a little effect but not really predictable.

It looks like a person might hold the nut while turning the inside screw but without really honking on it -- which I haven't -- it doesn't currently budge, the whole thing turns, giving that small "fuzzy" effect.

Does anyone know how this particular trimmer is supposed to work mechanically?

Thanks in advance...
