Looking for the string diagram for this radio.
Tried to use a Sam's Dial String Guide, but couldn't find the page or diagram number.
Would it help to take off the dial glass off to get to the main pully to string this radio.
All help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Doesn't seem like anyone has info to help you out on this one. Perhaps you can study the dial string diagram for the 42-380 which is in SAMS and it might help you sort it out. Looks like there are two separate strings on the 380 (see image below)

Not sure how the dial glass is attached, some pics might help but stringing these things can be a little frustrating so getting obstacles out of the way is a usually helpful. Having three hands helps to Icon_biggrin
Cheers,
Bob
