Hi all,

I have a Philco 710 radio, made in New Zealand. It belonged to my mother's family and I restored most of the cabinet about 30 years ago. My uncle, who knew everything about old radios and HAM radio, fixed the internals. Since then the dial string has broken. I would like to replace it but need help with two things:
- what string to use? The current string just looks like normal old twine, although a little hardened.
- where to route the string? I can see how to attach it to the tuning capacitor but there are a couple of pulleys - one behind the tuning knob and another next to it - and I don't know how to route it around those.

Can anybody help? I'm totally knew to this but wanting to learn. Let me know if I can provide more information, photos etc.

Regards,
Derek
