Step 14Install Nylon Crescent
Cut a small "half-moon-shaped" crescent from nylon bushing.
Locate your original pencil mark on the tuner thumb wheel. Using the rotary tool, flatten the edge of the wheel to match the nylon crescent.
Glue the crescent to the flat spot of the wheel.
Let dry.
What you've created is a "bump" on the wheel that engages the switches as it passes them. This way, you don't have to install modern buttons on the outside of your old radio.
Trim the "bump" with the rotary tool for the right width so it engages the switches without pushing them out of position.
