42-340 Dial String
#1

Folks, am new to the forum but am working on a 42-340, have stuffed the caps and its playing well, but am having a hard time on the dial string. Its a two string system that is seperated, there are two wheels (pulleys) on the tuner, the large outside one drives the tuner dial and the inside wheel is driven by tuning knob. with the tuner dial string disconnected its works great, but put the tuner dial string back on and it won't turn the tuner, it just slips and have treated it with some craft store mat placment glue, so it's a little sticky. Did the small pulley on the end of the dial string arragement have a plastic or bakelite bushing in it at one time.

Any ideas or suggestions will be appreicated.

Larry
