.065 Dial Cord For Model 89 Question?
#2

The model 89 I'm finishing up will not work with .040" dial cord. I put the old frayed .065" back on and it works fine. The original is somewhat frayed but a pull test tells me it has lots of years left in it.

Is there a source for .065" dial cord? And any opinions about leaving the original on are more then welcome.

Thanks,
Pepper

Well, provided that everything is free moving, lubricated, I'd leave it alone. You know, braided dental floss or fishing tackle nylon thread also does pretty good.
