Does anyone have a diagram on how to restring this radio please I am having problems working it out.
There are two strings I need to replace the one that moves the station indicator only.
Thank you in advance George

Could one get a photo, is it one of those that moves top to bottom & is on the side think 1030 or something like that. Had one wander through this year & the ropes broke due to dirty rods: I had to refit both.

Take up was on the rear of the drum & I think there was an idler involved? PIB to do the inner but I had the dial off anyway, which made it a little bit easier. Blue tack & sticky tape are your friend.

Yeah! .... Same animal I have had two of those, did take photo of one , not complex. Brother had one fixed. Probably still has it. It I had to dismantle to sort out the speaker and replace cordage on both Drum scores.

That is a point. The inner score and outer score are independent. The roller drives the outer and the inner drives the pointer.

So my comment about sticky tape & Blue Tac will be valid.

I see your email will send photo: Others interested advise.

Marc
