[ODPILOT]

11/7/14   I am restringing the dial cord on  my B1750 radio.  It's rather simple and straight forward EXCEPT for the final attachment back to the spring.  The cord starts and ends on the same little spring.  I have no problem routing the cord through all the pulleys correctly, while keeping the cord tight.  However, if the length of the cord is - like 2 mm too long, then when I attach the end of the cord back to the spring, it has slack.  If I make it 1 or 2mm shorter, then it won't reach the spring and if I pull the spring down so it can reach, the there is slack on the initial segment of the cord where it first attached to the spring.     Should I just keep the whole thing alittle loose, run the cord through the pulleys, attach both ends to the spring and then pull the spring up to a higher up hole in the dial wheel, thereby forcing tension on the initial and last segment of the cord?  I thought this was going be easy - but ran into this dilemma.  Thanks.
