Has anyone taken apart the vernier assembly for Philco Automatic Tuning mechanism? I'm currently working on a 37-675x Deluxe. The mechanism is all gummed up. I can't even turn the dial with either course or fine tuning as is, they both just slip. I'd would like to take this thing apart to clean and relube.
According the service instructions http://www.philcorepairbench.com/pdf/SB273p2.pdf (thank you Chuck for supplying this info!) in section 3e you're suppose to "hold a block of wood against the side of the vernier drive housing in which the lock pin is located and tap the end of the wood block with a hammer sharply to loosen the lock pin." I don't understand how this will work. If the block of wood is over the pin, like the instructions indicate, will the pin slide into the assembly? Or should the wood block be on the opposite side of the pin so that it will be forced out of the assembly? Has anyone done this?
