{Chrysler 300} slippage in radio tuning - An easy cure

[John Grady <jkg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi, 
see spring added to 57 300 radio , same basic design in all radios 
this adds more squeeze to tubber faced clutch , avoids slipping . 
The clutch is there to disconnect tuner  from tuning knob friction when you use push buttons . rubber gets old , slips .
—on 57 I drill hole on left side make a little hook of copper wire , solder to case ,big iron —  later have many  holes already   .a dab of adhesive keeps spring in place after hooking over near 90 degree bend .
Dont overdo it ,makes push buttins too hard to push . 
See spring scale , about 1/8”diameter  fine wire .
dont be tempted to oil anything near clutch , it gets on it , it is toast . And it will .
a drop of oil on each pushbutton setting slide lock can be helpful 

sometimes rubber breaks free of metal , hold clutch open get behind rubber disc  with toothpick and weather strip adhesive fixes that   , you can barely see adhesive at edge of this one 
fixes common pia!
