A Philco 91B

I put the chassis into the cabinet, all the knob shafts slid right into their holes, chassis bolts all lined up and I went to add the escutcheon and.....

That gap between the escutcheon and the dial is not supposed to be there.  The shadow meter lines up ok and as I mentioned so do the chassis knobs so it has to be a problem with the dial scale.  Unfortunately the old one was broken and I tossed it so I can not compare it.  The dial mounting holes lined up with the metal piece that it mounts on.  I don't think it is rubber tuner mounts as they are relatively pliable and the tuner knob shaft would be out of place if the tuner was lifted any more.  

Jeff had a similar problem with his 66S but that turned out to be a modification that had been made to a larger dial.  There is a later 91 dial that is a 2 band version but my set is only the single broadcast band.  

Interestingly, the picture of the 91B in the Phorum gallery shows the dial scale with the number very low in the escutcheon window

I'll pull the chassis out again and ponder on this a bit.... Icon_confused
