Crackling problem solved, but can't receive stations.

Terry,
I would think a little JB Weld creating a nice fillet at the base of that stem would work. Insert a small wood dowel thru the hole coated with silicon grease or something to avoid the epoxy from sticking. Put all the pieces in place with the epoxy. Supposedly JB Weld can be machined. There are others as well to created a whole new stem, then drill out to proper size. There are stiff epoxy mixtures that will not drip/deform while curing. Make sure to lightly sand the metal for good adhesion. Don't give up yet, thats any easy fix, even with what appears to be a pot metal assembly. If all else fails, I'll volunteer.

:::Terry:
:::Just to make this as simple as possible... is the osc running or not?
:::
:::To find out.. just place your scope probe tip near to the osc coil.
:::
:::You don't need to inject anything from the sig gen.. just turn on the radio and put the probe near there.
:::
:::The osc will be 455kc higher than the dial.
:::Whatever your dial pointer happens to be at... say 770kc...the osc freq will be at 1225kc
:::
:::So the first ting is to set your vert sensitivity low enough to pick up any oscillations in the coil.
:::Let's just see if it's oscillating at all.

::No- the osc is not working.
::AND- the last time I removed it from the case, a little while ago, the tuning dial broke into pieces. It is non-repairable, and non-replacable. There's really no reason to pursue this any further. I'm sorry, I feel like I let you down.
::I can't thank you enough for your time, effort and support.
::Ugh!
::This is REALLY a bummer!
::Goodnite-
