Just finished a Philco Model 77 and it is playing great, but......
I noticed that the dial string was a bit loose, so decided to replace it. I have used regular dial string as well as copper braid, but both slip on the drive pulley attached to the tuning knob. The original string was thicker and a bit softer than usual. I think I need a large diameter string. Any tips on how to solve this or where I can find the correct dial string?  Anyone have the dial stringing diagram handy?
Thanks,
Joe
