I recently rebelted this 3-piece boombox and I was going to shoot a video of it & as I was checking it out for functionality I discovered that the tune indicator traveled in one direction and then the pointer stopped moving but the radio kept tuning in stations from one end of the band to the other with great sound. The pointer is moved back and forth by a thumbwheel that drives a Plastic flat gear ribbon that is flexible to make a ninety degree turn near the thumbwheel to travel back on the side of the thumbwheel back into the side of the radio. This Plastic ribbon has size of 4 mm wide, about 2 mm tall with teeth and is about 250 mm long if it was all present Upon opening the for the first time weeks ago I did not observe anything falling out of this radio, so it is a mystery as to where this broken piece went to. Does anybody have this radio as a parts box? I am searching for this part does anybody have this that they would be willing to give to me or and or willing to sell me this as I will then buy this part, I have paypal. Panasonic RX-C46 tuner flat gear rack needed Thanks front of this RX C46 complete inside tune gear removed in bottom of picture I am holding the tune thumbwheel near where it is attached to show the missing length of the plastic gear ribbon my sun porch work area with future projects in the back ground - those these may change daily.
