Rubber Chassis Bits....
#4

Reading this reminds me of my own problems with Philco Radios and disintregated rubber pieces. My 38-10 needs the rubber to isolate the tuning gang from the chassis. Yours needs essentially the same thing. Problem is..we don't have General Cement making the little stuff any more.
So our only alternative is to get, and remain , inventive. For instance, if we go into Radio Shack and ask for dial-stringing cord, they won't have a CLUE as to what you just said.
ON the other end of the spectrum are guys like Mr Battery Maker, who at the time is fighting tooth and nail against the ultimate obsoletion of our beloved sets. Icon_cry Icon_twisted
But I would stand on my head and eat ice cream cones for an hour to keep my sets going. Or whatever....or not.... Icon_neutral
