Turning it 360 Deg. a couple of times either direction doesn't affect the
signal. That's why I assume it's broken.

It's damaged. It just turns freely.

I hadn't considered the possibility that he thinks the antenna trimmer
control is broken because it turns all the way around. That's what it's
supposed to do, since there is no stop on the shaft. It's different from
the main tuning or bandspread control which have a stop position at each
end of their rotation range.
To use the antenna trimmer control, tune to a particular band or station
and rotate the antenna trimmer knob until you get the highest reading on
the signal strength meter.
