Antenna adjusting lever
#1

What would be a clever, convenient and effective way to attach some kind of mechanism to rotate the antenna on the 42-400 (for my sister to operate without pulling the radio out and away from the wall, adjusting it, then pushing it back in)? I'm amazed that Philco made no provision to adjust the antenna remotely,(or with a knob), on a higher end set like this! I was thinking of a slide lever, but looks like it might be tricky to incorporate that method and make the antenna travel the full 3/4 rotation. (I would post pictures to show what I mean, but they come out super-sized on the Phorum!) Thanks!
