The mounting grommets for the tuning capacitor are close to a dial light and can suffer from heat stress. This causes the capacator to come loose from the correct position and the dial cord comes free.

One poor solution
On my Kolster Brandes MP151/2 The three grommets had totally perished. I couldn't get suitable replacements so I "kluged" it with the hot melt glue gun around the three tubes that go inside grommets. The glue sticks are a bit "rubbery" anyway, so not too bad a fix.
It could be they just perished.

Failed Rubber Grommets

I get grommets from an Auto Parts supplier or an Auto Electrician. They are sold by Internal Diameter I.E. for the planned use with a particular wire size.
