[Hallicrafters] Dial Cord

[Greg Mijal]

Here's a couple of things that will help with !!$&E(@#!!! dial re-stringing:

Violin Rosin from the music shop
Spring hook tool: about 1 foot long - one end looks like a curved sheppards 
staff the other end looks the split tail of a bird. No idea where to buy one 
but you may be able to make your own.
Both of these will help with the tough jobs
