I received my order of 1 inch and 1.5 inch long by 1/8 inch OD gavanized steel springs with hooks on the ends from McMaster-Carr and some .040 inch OD black jacketed dial cord from Radio Daze. I restrung the tuning drive thumb wheel and tuning capacitor yesterday using a 1 inch spring. It worked well first try - no more slipping. No further efforts are needed as the problem is cured.

Thanks to all who have helped along the way on this restoration!

Joe
