[Hallicrafters] SX-62A dial cord

[Edward B Richards]

Hi Tom;

I have re strung many dial cords. It is nice to have the instructions but
it is not necessary. You can usually figure out how to re string it so
the dial goes in the correct direction. Re the capacitor wheel; just put
a turn around it in each direction. If the cable comes tight before the
end, add another turn. You can usually tell by the opening in the wheel
if you need more than 1 turn. Usually, there will be less than 1 full
turn in one direction and more than 1 turn in the other. BTW; a couple of
knitting needles or crochet hooks help in tight spots.
