Thanks Ron and Allen for the info on the tuning mechanism. I had wondered about that, but did not realize the shaft pulls out. Now I know the reason for a knob with a set screw. I have the chassis out of the cabinet now but haven't had much time to look at it. there is good news and not so good news. The not so good news is that there was some inhabitant of the set for some time as there is substantial corrosion on part of the chassis in the corner and under the tuning capacitor. Hopefully it will look better when cleaned up. Also there is quite a bit of melted wax present on the chassis, so something got hot at one point. the good news is that apart from some of the tubes, it looks like this set has never had any service work done to it. Underneath the chassis looks completely original and our little house guest never made its way down there. I'm hoping to get a little time to look closer at it today and maybe start some cleaning.
