Very cool vintage Arvin AM-FM radio!
This unit worked great until I attempted to remove the tuning knob for cleaning. It appears the string that connects the tuning knob to the radio wheel inside the unit fell off inside. I removed the back cover and have pictures showing the string and wheel.
The unit currently powers on and radio stations are tunable by turning the large wheel inside the unit. Volume control and the speaker work great. The AM-FM switch works. Tone control works.
Once the string is reattached to that wheel this should work normally. There was a spring and a clip inside. The spring attached the string to the wheel and tensioned the spring. Iām not sure the purpose of the clip.
