Gosh. I always re-discovered how to do it, took me 2-3 minutes every time.
Now that I think of it, the c-clip is there but has nothing to do with taking this apart.
I think you just push that sprocket agaisnt a piece of wood, and it just comes out. You have to push the shaft (the tuning end where the knob goes on) in a bit before pushing the sprocket.
I hope so.

Oh... That link is gold man! Thank you so much.

I'll see if I can get this thing fixed and will post the results on this thread.

Hi Howard, if memory serves, and many times it doesn’t, I vaguely remember working on a Philco that had that pin you have circled in yellow with a question mark. I believe I used a magnet to extract that pin to disassemble that mechanism!

Thanks 462ron. I have it soaking right now but will test the power of my shop light magnet on the pin when it comes out.
