Just finished a Philco Model 77 and it is playing great, but......
I noticed that the dial string was a bit loose, so decided to replace it. I have used regular dial string as well as copper braid, but both slip on the drive pulley attached to the tuning knob. The original string was thicker and a bit softer than usual. I think I need a large diameter string. Any tips on how to solve this or where I can find the correct dial string?  Anyone have the dial stringing diagram handy?
Thanks,
Joe

Dan Double conversion is using two IF converters instead of one. This improves the image response. morzh — 07:15 PM
