The chassis is out and up to the shop for repairs. I do need help though. Has anyone here ever worked on the tuner in one of these Silvertones? If so, what is a good fix for that rubber friction cone that drives the tuner mechanism? It is on the end of the motor shaft and there is no real getting around it, even for manual tuning. Its rubber bonded to a metal cone and just getting to it might be a challenge. Want to ask so I can relay any information as that is the biggest worry on the whole set.

No matter where you go, there you are.
