I have a '35 Model 60b early version that the tuning condenser shaft is slipping and not sure how to fix it (or if it can be). The shaft turns much too loosely and is not moving the condenser blades except slightly every couple of turns. Obviously, the blades have somehow broken loose or otherwise disconnected from the shaft. Any advice on how to better diagnose and repair would be appreciated. I've not attempted to take it apart yet so I don't possibly damage something. Thanks.
