The dial scale assembly on this Philco model 90 is driven by a small pulley that is spring loaded and has a slot in it. But I don't have to tell you that.

My dial scale assembly is riding in the slot but is very loose most of the length of travel. The dial scale assembly just slips. What causes the spring to keep pressure on the part of the dial scale assembly that rides in that groove? Is it adjustable somehow? There is no lubricant here and all parts have been cleaned thoroughly.
