Model 87 Dial string
#4

The 77 and 89 are different than 87and the 95. It has two worm gears one at the front and one at the rear connected by the tuning shaft. At one end of each gear there is a peg. A loop at the end of each cord (there is two cords) slips over the peg. The cord is wound around the gear (would start with the rear gear) and then it is fitted over the dial drum thru the small hole and a spring anchors the cord to the inside of the drum. Same w/the front cord but it's would in the opposite direction. One cord pulls and the other pushes which in turn rotates the drum. GL they are a pita to replace. One tip is if you have a good cord measure it to get the correct length from loop to loop. I'm pretty sure there are the same length.

Hope this helps and have fun making up new bad words. [Image: http://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/smi...wisted.gif]
