Joe, Just looked at an 87 on the bench. The tuning cords are separate. With the cap in the mid position, there is approximately 4 turns on the "threaded" drum, then up to a grrove in the indicator drum, around it about half way, then into the center and a spring. The other side is pretty much a mirror image. I can get a photo of the front section, if that would help.
