Guys,
Found an old Majestic model 91 at a flea market.
Nice looking set. Looks unmolested. From reading on other websites it appears mine has the dreaded "Pot Metal" disease. The tuning cap plates bind due to the metal warping over time. Never heard of it till now of course.
Anyone ever known one of these tuning caps to get fixed somehow? THe plates aren't bent over or damaged, they just rub on each other with no pattern to the warpage... Icon_twisted

The other alternative is replacing the cap with an "aftermarket" one or finding a donor.
ANy ideas / info appreciated.

Next time I'll make it a Philco!

Tim
