Dial Cord Qick Fix

I had several old sw radios that worked fine except that the dial cord was slipping. Very annoying. But replacement cord is hard to find and can be tricky to replace. The problem is that the cord and tuning shaft became highly polished over the years and there wasn't much friction left. I got a can of "Gunk" Belt Dressing, sprayed some into a glass, and applied it to the cord and the tuning shaft with a camel's hair brush. That was three months ago and the tuning has been fine ever since with no slippage. The belt dressing is the type used to spray on automotive v-belts. wax |
