[Hallicrafters] S 107 Mods and advice

[EXT-Craft, Clifford H]

Also, on dial cords, do not put more wraps on the tuning knob shaft than the specs show, even one more turn causes the cord to qrap over the cord and stick.

Nope not me. I did it for a command receiver in the 60's. worked fine.

Do you mean what is it that keeps them from slipping?

Get some rosin as used on the baseball mound. Get a little bit of alchhol 
(denatured) and mix in enough of the rosin till it won't dissolve any 
more.. then apply the stuff to the cord. Let  dry.  Done.
