setting presets on original radios - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Only had a little time tonight so I am tearing down and restoring (sorta) an original AM radio - I have cleaned out all the dirt dobbers, took lots of pictures to share after I make sure it works, noted the repairs to make and got most of it working -

What is the procedure for setting the presets? Right now, the dial allows movement of the setting all the way to the left - only 3/4 of the way to the right. The first button only moves the arm a bit, the second, to the center and the rest of the buttons don't do enough to say so. It seems to be all loosened up and I've lubed it. Any help is much appreciated!
