Okay, I had mentioned a problem with the tuning mechanism on this radio.
The tuning shaft goes into the chassis where it terminates in a sort of U-bracket. A matching U-bracket is on the matching end of the tuning drive assembly. Here's a look:

Now, a closeup of where the two U-brackets sort of meet.

It appears that something is missing. A piece of rubber, perhaps, that was once sandwiched between the U-brackets?
The tuning mechanism will not work without whatever piece is missing.
Any suggestions, folks?
