Philco 42-345
#24

I figured out this uses a 44 for the band indicator and 47 for the pilot lights. Replacing with GE1847 -a little dimmer but not hot and will be long lasting. The band indicator looks like a piece of plastic - surprised it isn’t burnt after 80 years from a 44 bulb.


Does anyone have a correct dial string diagram for this? Specifically I need to know how to string the cord for the dial indicator.
This has two strings. I successfully strung the one for the tuning knob. Easy enough once I used some PB blaster and loosened the nuts to remove the wheel on the tuning cap. I made it really tight since I figure eventually the cord will stretch with age and use.

With the other on the large wheel I’ve tried various combinations. Clockwise, counterclockwise, tuning cap fully closed, fully open. Wrapping the cord twice around the wheel.


 All that happens is the tuning cap just sticks in place and the cord lifts off the wheel. 
I found this diagram from the 42-350 which is said to be similar but it isn’t working.  One thinks this would be the easy part but no.
