Philco 37-116 Auto Tuning

In looking further I have found that the autotuning mechanism is driven by a small gear and pinion and the set screw wasn't holding. The center chassis mounting rubber grommets are badly worn and need replacing. The worn grommets cause the chassis to sag and the tuning cap gets out of alignment and caused the mechanism to turn with difficulty.

Does anyone know where I can get 3 of these special grommets?

Thanks,
Don

Those are details better left to the ones who know. Maybe you disconnected the wrong end of the wire.RodB — 06:22 PM
