[Hallicrafters] Slipping dial cord

[rbethman]

It would be a fairly safe bet that the majority of us that go into 
restoring an old radio do not go hunting for exotic methods and materials.

Would you be so kind as to providing a link to this particular item and 
its cost?

It would be enlightening.  Although it may also be amusing in the cost 
department, as it has been shown that music emporiums provide 
inexpensive rosins that are normally readily available within a very 
short distance.

Even here in a city of less than 160,000 population, we have at least 
four or five inside a two to three mile radius to the inhabitants.
