Thanks Ron ,
I may look for a metal gear or something I can use to replace the plastic material. I replaced a lot of the wiring in the radio, man do I hate that rubber coated wire. You just move it a little and it cracks off the insulation and the replacement war is on. I must of chased broken wire to every point in the chassis. It is up and running and it sounds great. Now it is off to the cabinet refinish.
Thanks for the great site, My next project is a Philco Model 87 Highboy.
Bob.
