Hi Rick,
Thanks for the reply. I've kind of got it figured out now....except for actually getting it re-strung! Seems like I've spent hours at it already...cursing away! I'd get close only to lose it off the inner "threaded drum". The left side string (as your looking at it from front of machine) goes half way around dial indicator and down to the "inner" drum. The right side is a piece of cake as that threads down to the "outer drum" and is fairly easy to put on...It's that darn inner one giving me all the trouble. Oh well, if this were all easy...I don't suppose we'd be doing it, right? Thanks again for your input.
Joe
