It's better to first remove the gear and degrease thoroughly before gluing. We always used a smijjin of epoxy. Never had a failure thereafter.

Thanks for the tuner info doug. It is the same set that you owned. It now has a permanent home in Norfolk. Its fitting because Norfolk is a Navy town and that Zenith set is a Nimitz class console! I've never picked up a heavier set in my life. It has to be solid oak wood. Its a big one. I understand that this model (the chancellor),was their top of the line for '64. Dwight said that you picked it up from a wealthy homeowner in Chicago and that he had it delivered to his home straight from the Zenith factory in Chicago. Its a beautiful cabinet and in great shape except for a few water rings on top which I plan to take care of. Any additional info you can give about the history of the set would be greatly appreciated.
