Clairtone Console Stereo Video #46 - Series Finale

I've studied the tuning mechanism from every angle and now it's time to take action and fix it.

Video #46! I think this must be a Guinness world record in radio repair 😃

What will happen if someone force drive the tuning knob even after the end of dial? Remember there is no clutching action now (due to the gluing). This will either break the glue on yellow gear or will break the tooth on it.

What we have here is "Analysis paralysis"

[Jammerk]

I would never send anything to this man to fix not even a simple turntable belt replace!

[jcurnutte]

You have to disassemble the whole thing and make the necessary changes and clean and lubricate and then reassemble

[lancemehes]

They forgot to glue it at the factory. Oh my gosh! What are the chances?

[jcurnutte]

Better think about taking it apart and clean and lubricate all of the parts

[heinz]

Sorry, this is NOT a repair, it is a disaster ! More and more You ruin this radio ! Let it be !

[StillCloser]

" I'm not gonna play the FM..."
Of course you are not - By now the scale must be all over the place, and the sensitivity sucks too...
Ahaha... Nice try but hey, maybe the owner won't find it....

15:33 Why dont he see how his attempt to drive the yellow gear forward will always be blocked/hindered by the gear of the tuning shaft perpendicular to it? We all can observe how, whenever he pushes forward on the screwdriver, the yellow gear bends and contorts instead of sliding forward.
This simple mechanism is way over his grasp and he is simply too lazy and cheap to get a proper set of long allen keys to loosen the brass cup on the opposite side of the clutch and adjust things from there!

[DAVIDGREGORYKERR]

a toothpick should be perfect for putting the glue where you want it.

[jeffsmith]

Drill and pin through yellow gear into shaft. Glue is the Final Solution

[paul-c]

If all else fails bodge it with glue🤦‍♂️

[qutips]

o my god, poor radio and owner of the radio

[jcurnutte]

Everyone has told you that you have to disassemble the mechanism

[gargunza]

It's fixed Jim, but not as we know it.

[Jammerk]

What did he fix? I see the radio worse then ever! I don't wanna get old like him! Diamantina has gone to his brain!

[geirendre]

Somehow this reminds me of ElectroBOOM. 🤔

[DAVIDGREGORYKERR]

If you have oiled the other parts of the mechanism then nothing should stick to the parts that have been oiled that is why they said clean sway any oil, had you put some silicone grease where you don't want the glue to go then the adhesive will not stick to the place where is grease.

[ableutopia]

What a sloppy, lousy "finale". If you take away the WD-40, epoxy adhesive and the poking chopsticks he would have to close shop. BTW, thanks for deleting comments, very up to your overall attitude and ego.
