      I have a Philco model 38-7 console.. Everything works fine except the fine tuning knob.     I made a tool to adjust the cones for setting up the stations, but the instructions that I found do not give any indication about how the fine tuning works..  If I turn the knob it just rotates and does nothing.  Any information would be a help.. I did not find anything at Chuck Schwarks site, the Philco repair bench......... (I could have missed it)..
   Thanks Dan
