I have searched this and other sites but do not understand how to install the dial string on a Philco 118. Mine is missing. But the configuration of mine does not seem to match the tech section diagram. Mine has a lower pulley with two grooves. There is also an UPPER pulley with one groove. And the dial drive metal shaft is SEPARATE from the upper pulley (mounted below it) - it has a small groove. The UPPER pulley is mounted on a hinged lever and can move a limited distance.

I cannot understand the function of the UPPER pulley. Does the dial string go around the upper pulley? The string would also obviously have to somehow go around the dial tuning shaft (since the upper pulley is not attached to the dial shaft).

Of course, there is a chance that my radio is not original in this area.

HELP!
