This radio has been nicely restored and plays well, but does have a few issues that I need to target. The tuning dial is a bit sloppy and the controls such as the volume are very stiff, though no crackle or audible issues at all, so tuner lube these or bad idea? Also, how do you get the lube into the volume control? Appears to be sealed.
