Braided nylon cord is perfect for radio dials and is superior to twisted cord which can unravel and become frayed. A dial cord is subject to friction whenever the set is tuned and must therefore possess reasonable resistance to abrasion. Nylon cord performs excellently in this respect. A very important property for a dial drive cord is that it have a high coefficient of friction. This requires that the cord should not become smooth or slick during use. The type of thread used for the braid, the diameter of the strands and the method of braiding determine its performance and life in this respect. Should the cord ever become smooth or slick during use, coat the cord with violin rosin. Violin rosin is made in a block, built into a wooden holder. Simply drag the cord across the rosin block until it is well coated, then install the cord on the dial drive assembly of the radio. Radio dial cord, also known as tuning cord or string, is a component used in older radio sets to control the tuning mechanism. It consists of a thin, flexible string or cord that is connected to the tuning knob or dial, and is threaded through a series of pulleys and gears inside the radio’s chassis. When the tuning knob is turned, the dial cord rotates the tuning mechanism, which in turn adjusts the radio’s frequency to the desired station. The tension of the cord is important for ensuring accurate tuning, and adjustments may need to be made over time as the cord stretches or wears.

Transistor Radio Dial String Repair Book – Diagrams, Tips and Tricks
The idea for this book came when I was struggling to get a friend’s radio dial pointer to work right. The cord had broken. I didn’t have a diagram, I didn’t have the right replacement string, and I didn’t have a clue about how to get the radio to tune stations again. Eventually I got it working, and started pouring over diagrams to see what I could learn about the subject. As you can see by flipping through this book, there are an astonishing number of ways to move a tuning capacitor and a pointer. In fact, when I finished the first draft of the book I spent a number of hours just thumbing through it and marveling at the many ways there are to get the job done. Some designs are straight-forward, others will remind you of Rube Goldberg. A few are downright elegant. I have hundreds and hundreds of cord diagrams in my library. Many, but not all of them are printed here. Having to draw the line somewhere, I left out some of the “less collectible” sets, which I grant you is a subjective exercise. If you have a favorite that you think I should include in the next edition, let me know, and I’ll see what I can do. The reproductions are from a variety of out-of-print sources, and their original quality ranged from “camera-ready” to downright raggedy. I have done my best to digitally enhance their readability. In some cases, the results are actually better, and bigger than the originals. Thanks for your continued support, and good hunting!
