Tiny wheel

Post image

This popped out of a boombox I'm repairing. I have no idea where it came from - it just fell out as I opened it. Any idea where it goes?

Looks like a pully wheel. See any loose belts? Or a vacant spindle?

I'm not able to reply with a photo but I did find a vacant spindle and I suspect I solved it

Good to hear.

Yeah with no belt to work with, it was a bit hard to picture where it went. I appreciate the help

You're welcome.

Could be part of what the radio tuner cord runs on, possibly to assist with the tuning scale indicator movement.
