three panel nuts, taking great care not to scratch the front panel.
6-11. Turn the Tuning capacitor to the left until the plates are visibly meshed.
Press the dial pointer, black washer first, (pointing exactly left) onto the
capacitor shaft. Move it all the way to the second shaft section nearest the
panel. Start by pressing very firmly and evenly.
Note: The hardest part installing these friction-fit dial pointers is getting it
started. Try tapping it on using a 3/8" wrench socket or nut-driver to
apply even pressure. After you get it over the end of the tuning shaft,
gentle and even tapping pressure will move it into place more easily.
6-12. Install the four panel knobs with the Allen wrenches and flat screwdriver. Be
sure to align the pointer stripes of the knobs before tightening.

IMPORTANT: Do not over-tighten the mounting nut, or it will strip the
threads of the connector's body.

panel, (2.) nut #1, (3.) nut #2 (tighten nuts), (4.) two washers, (5.) wingnut.
(Any ground wire is attached between the two washers.)
