Not sure if the 87 and 89 are similar in stringing, but I found this thread on Antique Radio Forums, hope it is helpful. There are a couple of pictures a little way down that may help.  http://www.antiqueradios.com/forums/view...p?t=193224  . I have also used braided fishing line for a replacement for dial cord, just buy the thickness that looks close to what yours was at a good fishing tackle shop. Also, Radio Daze sells dial cord, although I'm not sure of its size as I have never bought any. Good luck to you.
