1929 Philco 95 Dial cable guide?

They are a bit of a pita. Since you have the old ones measure them. If I remember correctly they are the same length. I used some steel stranded wire that is used for hanging pictures. Make a loop at both end at the measure length. I don't think you can install it with removing the cap rotor to gain access to the rear worm. It's been a number of years ago when I did the last one. Attach the wire to the rear worm peg and wind it on to the worm so that there just enough wire left to attach the wire and tension spring to the dial drum.
Reinstall the the cap rotor and worm assembly with out losing tension on the rear wire. This is the pita part!!!
Once you get that back together attach the front wire and spring to the drum. Wrap front wire onto the front worm and hook the loop over the peg.

GL and let me know if you made up any new words while preforming this task.

Terry,
A pictorial or video would help Icon_lol . I'll try as you suggest, though it may be a while before I make an attempt at it. I have a couple radios ahead of this I need to finish and sell off to make room to work. I like to gather info and parts ahead of a job, so I can jump in somewhat prepared. Icon_idea I'll post back when I start on it, and I'll try to make a point of this repair being the 1st. Thanks! Icon_thumbup

Blessings,
