Your broken dial cord reminds me of the Crosley I am currently working on. I had to replace the dial cord too. At first it kept coming off the big pulley attached to the condensers, then it broke after I managed to get it back. I had to take the whole dial apart to get it back together. Oh well, it gave me a chance to clean the inside of the dial well. You can read about those adventures here: https://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=22817  which is an ongoing thread. I am just waiting now for some nice weather to build the cabinet. I've been busy the past couple of days drawing the blueprints and thinking it out.
