[Boatanchors] Dial Re-Stringing Madness!

[Glen Zook]

I "assume" that you do have a spring attached to at
least one end of the dial string.

Try "roughing up" the shaft to which the tuning knob
is attached (use some sandpaper).  Over the years the
constant polishing of the shaft by the dial string
often reduces the ability of the shaft to "hold" the
new dial string.

 No problems following the manuals to set up the
stringing and I have specialized tools to get right
thru it. I use good quality string designed for radio
work.  The problem is I frequently end up with a dial
that stops moving at some point in it's travel range.
There is good tension overall and the string is not
binding as it travels.  The damn thing just stops
turning the cap and slips on the tuning dial shaft.
