 It will either be listed under Montgomery Ward or Belmont in the Rider manuals, or possibly in Beitmans, 1940 will be the model year, Montgomery Ward used to reverse the first two digits so 04 means 1940, 05 means 1950, 14 means 1941, etc.

Here's a copy of the schematic for the 1939 model:

However, it does not include the dial stringing diagram.

Usually two or three turns around the tuning knob shaft which can be cleaned up and even roughed up a bit in the detent where the where windings go, grease up any other pulleys sparingly with a toothpick, keep off the cord, and replace spring to tighten up string around the tuning capacitor wheel. You can use real dial cord from suppliers available here or other hobby sites, or braided fishing lure cord, some even use unwaxed dental floss, doubled up or not, braided button hole thread or whatever. If you get the threading backwards, shouldn't take long to figure out the correct way.
