[Hallicrafters] Slipping dial cord

[WA1KBQ at aol.com]

Old time radio repair shops used to keep several new strings in stock  
hanging from hooks with weights on them so they would be  prestretched and 
always ready to install. Nothing like having new string  and some tension stored 
in the spring to keep it tight.

What  about using liquid rosin flux?  Or make your own.  Get some  
pitchers' powdered rosin at you local sporting goods store and dissolve  
it in alcohol.
