Isn't it odd that whenever you want glue to hold something permanently, it never does. But when you need something that's been glued to come apart, it never does...
I have no experience with early 50s TVs, but was struck at how much better built that Andrea is compared to the GE I have, and they're both 1951 models.
The broken gear appears to have been factory peened to the outer knob shaft, so it looks like a DuMont tuning knob won't work unless I can cut/fit the Andrea outer knob to the Muntz shaft. Thanks for the info.
