The last few days have been spent on some details.
I polished up the E-Cap cans and installed them.
I then repaired the broken shaft on the fine tuning mechanism. I found some 1/4 inch phenolic rod on eBay and bought several 6 inch pieces. The guy was from Fort Worth and they arrived the next day.
After I traced out the positions of everything I tapered the one end using my disc sander at first then my drill press to true it up. I then cut it to length and cut the groove for the keeper. To do this I used my battery drill clamped to the bench. Then turned it on and cut the groove with a hacksaw blade. Took all of 3 minutes. After cleaning up the pieces I pressed them into position. I installed the shaft and the keeper. Then restrung the dial cord.
