[Boatanchors] Dial Lock

[Dave Brown]

Keith
Gotta haul my 357 out of the rack soon for some maintenance so if there's 
anything I could measure or whatever that might help, let me know. From a 
quick look at mine it appears there is a bushing with a 'ramp' on it behind 
the 'knob' that forces the 'knob' (or ring) out against the tuning knob when 
it is turned abut 30-40 degrees. My 357 is actually a CEI model and might 
not be the same as yours-mine has the  'film scale' dial  and no nixie 
display.
