Check out my other Dial Cord!Vintage Tube Radio Tuner Dial Cord 12 feet of braided nylon replacement cord, .8mm in size which is recommended for "Thin" or "Standard" diameter (.030" - .034"), depending on particular model, will work in such brands as RCA, Philco, GE, Airline, Silvertone, Westinghouse, Motorola and Zenith to name a few. 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.
