By the by on the 20 the rotor comes out easily and isn't a problem to align. But it is made of steel plates and a brass shaft. Not aluminum like more modern sets.Also it doesn't have avc so if I remember correctly the tuning condenser bolts right to the chassis with no rubber parts. Most I've seen get a bit rusty over the last 80+ yrs
