Thanks Ron! Got it.

Yes morzh there are 3 extra friction points on this 4 gang Philco 90 and I did grease them. I could hear them scraping/dragging and after the touch of grease they quieted right down. I've worked on all kinds of radios and to tell the truth this is the first tun. cond. that hasn't had the ball bearings at one end. Thanks!
