New to this site, 1st post. 
I am restoring a philco standup radio chassis 44 looks like tuner is am and short wave.
There are 3 rubber tires in the tuner section, the one behind the dial plate and 2 more used in tuning and fine tuning. I got 2 of them but I need the 3rd(its the inner most one farthest from the dial plate) it is totally missing so I cant get it rebuilt.

Ayone have any thoughts or help. Thanks much appricated
Rich

Hi Rich - welcome to the Phorum!

Have you seen this tech section article on rebuilding the dial drive for the 44 among others?
http://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=14970

It should give you the info on the replacement part you need.
