Philco 90 Dial movement

Thank you very much, Ron...and excuse me for the error! I never dismantled this mechanism and it seemed to me that the roller part was hardened rubber, but now I realize that it is metal. The mechanism in my set is exactly as shown in your photo. Incidentally, in my set, the dial wheel makes friction with a groove in the roller part. Is this intentional or has the groove been formed by friction along the years?

I must say that the dial slips only from time to time. I have found that it works quite well if I press the knob downwards slightly when rotating the dial. So I think I can leave it as it is. It is already in its cabinet. I re-aligned the set with the help of an oscilloscope and now it is better tahn ever. It is amazing how powerful this radio is. It is much better than any of my modern radios, and the sound is very good too!

Thanks to all!
