There is something oddly satisfying to tune into stations in 2023 with a tuner build almost 100 years prior! You did an excellent job and earned yourself a new subscriber!
when I was a kid in the early 1970's there were about 4 junked pre 1930's era radio chassis rusting away for decades in the bushes in my backyard, there was one rusted radio chassis that had a tuner that looked exactly like yours, especially the unique tuner spool with slot numbers. Im sure it was the same Radiola triple gang tuning cap. I am so thrilled to finally see one in good working condition unlike the far more corroded, seized up tuner from my childhood. Looks great in that red paint job.

Shake the can upside down that way you remove the cemented stuff down not just the liquid.
