Silvertone 4788
#15

It might be a little bit before the unit is going. For one thing, the power-volume control is totally shot. That will need replacing. Luckily all the gearing on the tuner is intact and looks better built than the RCA and GE variants. Probably good as everything, including the manual tuning drives through the motor and the gears. I did find what my tuning issue is though, a rubber cone on the end of the motor shaft. Of course, it's burried in there! Any ideas how to repair this issue? Even the manual tuning needs this:

   

And, here are a couple more pictures of the chassis removed:


   

   

No matter where you go, there you are.
