This radio was certainly well used. The tuning shaft is deeply worn at the bearing support, and the dial drive surface is worn to a knife edge. Not quite sure how I'm going to address the issues, but I have some ideas.
Edit: Because of the wear on the dial, someone tried to bend and otherwise mangle the piece to increase the friction on the drive. I've tried to straighten it as best I can. Now I have to add some metal to the worn edge to get it back to some semblance of original dimensions.
