You are correct. Since I do not have a lot of experience with these I was loathe to mess with it much, but I did check the tuning mechanism and see this:
It turns nearly all the way to the physical stop. Then the dial string slips on the shaft of the tuning knob. The string is fairly taut, but that is the problem. A quick check online and some proposed fixes were posted. I tried one and the radio now tunes the full band, thanks!
