The metal part of the dial scale frame that actually comes in contact with the pulley is very thin. Almost knife edge thin. This is where the pulley looses traction. It's qiute thicker at each end of the travel area. I've performed all of the adjustments that I thought might be adjustments (a slotted hole on the bracket where the dial lamp and pulley assy. are housed) so I applied pressure to this dial lamp/pulley bracket and tightened the screw.
So I took a 1/4" by about 3" long strip of duct tape and molded it around that knife edge. The dial scale works fine. But this isn't a permanent fix. I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this problem and has a fix for it.
The springs that sit on the center shaft of the tuning condenser seem tight and the only thing done to this assembly was a good cleaning and some white grease at the friction points.
