There are 2 tuning knobs, and both don't work, one is for the general tuning, the second is for fine tuning.
There are 2 loose threads, one with the small spring that is connected to the main knob. the other thread is without spring.
Any help?
Thank you,

Carlo
Try replacing the thread with a rubber band or the belt from an old record player? These can be fixed if you're resourceful.
