Is anyone familiar with the tuner mechanism on this Capehart-Farnsworth 661-P? It has ganged air variable capacitors (duh) with mechanical detents. All well and good for the low channels, 2-6. When I get to 6, it stops and I don't want to force it.

Seems like there should be some sort of cam thingie to shift it into high gear, but the gearworks in front are mostly hidden. I'd rather not unsolder all the connections to remove the whole tuner unless it's really necessary.

Thanks!
