Re: R4C rubber dial bushing


 

The original suggestion that I saw years ago cited heater hose, which is what I used. It works well also and I still have enough for several more radios.

My R4C dial scales started slipping today and I checked out the rubber bushing because of other posts here.? Sure enough, the bushing was hard as a rock.? I was able to find a suitable rubber hose for making a new bushing at the local Autozone store.? The hose has these markings on it: "50087 5/16" (7.9MM) Fuel Injection Hose SAE J30R9? Made in China" .? Unfortunately, the smallest length you can buy is 1 foot at a cost of $8.? I cut the proper length for the bushing and it worked perfectly.? There's no longer any slippage in the dial.
