Yes, a 500 mile drive but the new owner of a fada 46. Same family since new and other than tube changes untouched. I new the tuner was frozen but had to see what I could do. Yup, really frozen. Pictures attached. Will take me some time to figure out how to get that dang thing taken apart. Here are some pictures.

Anyone with experience on this radio, love some help on disassembling the front off the tuner.
