I don't understand it. Channels 3-10 were all exactly the same. You'd figure after you destroy 1 or 2 tuning strips you would have stopped. Had to feel or hear the crunching and snapping, you'd think?!?!

You are lucky to find a tuner so fast. Fortunately, Admiral was a big seller back in the day.

That picture looks very promising!

Guess I was SUPER lucky that the adjust screw for channel 7 was sitting in a good spot for me to even get a picture to begin with. There was definitely almost no sound. When I popped out the channel 7 strip, the adjust screw fell out into the turret. Along with 3-4 other adjust screws and a ton of that paper like substance that makes up the adjust "tubes." What are those tubes made of?

Paper. Probably wax or resin impregnated. Same deal with many IF transformer cores.
