I HAVE AN OLD 1939 RCA. THE DIAL INDICATOR MOVES OFF OF A LARGE DRIVE WHEEL. THE TUNNING KNOB SHAFT HAS A RUBBER WASHER GROMET, THAT MOVES THE WHEEL. THIS RUBBER WASHER SLIPS AT TIMES, AND YOU CAN'T GET ALL THE STATIONS. IS THIS RUBBER WASHER WORN.CAN IT BE REPLACED. ARE THERE ANY AVAILABLE OUT THERE.

I don't know what your rubber washer looks like, but you can start out by trying your hardware store. I used a valve washer to replace the drive washer on the fine tuning knob of my Airline radio.

Allen, you should post the model number of your set. Sounds like a K-60 or there abouts. You might get by with just cleaning it. It's a push in for tuning with the end of the rubber doing the turning of the dial. A very light coating of marine silicone may give you the extra grip you need.

I have a 39 T-80, which works the same. I used a tiny bit of automotive fan belt spray and it worked.
