Philco 38-116 Question More Questions
#1

Have the radio working well but still a couple of problems. Let's start and focus on the first. The problem is that the muting switch well, doesn't seem to mute when pressing in on the new yoke assembly I recently received. I'm posting a picture of the old one without the yoke, exactly like the new one I put in. I'm making an assumption and you know what that means. As one presses in the speed dial and engages one of the preset screws part of the yoke assembly appears to also press in to the brass clip you see in the picture and if all works well, that clip presses into a connector tab on the yoke assembly that is connected to the yoke, and "grounds" it. Seeing how the nice spring piece is also connected to the shaft, how the hay does it do anything? It doesn't. Am I missing some isolating piece somewhere?
Anyone shed some light how this is supposed to work?
