[Hallicrafters] Stringing SX-62, Making it more difficult.

[Richard Knoppow]

    I've used the Radio Daze string, exactly like the original. An old 
trick is to coat the string with rosin of the sort used by violinists. 
Stops it from slipping. Also, sometimes the shafts driving it become 
polished. Sanding them to a dull finish will give a better grip.

>  Hi,  In the process of trying to get the dial/capacitor  string correct I broke the string. Darn, darn.  So now I need a new string (about 55 in. long).  In the past I have used fly-fishing line (on other radios) which has a thicker diameter. Because the SX-62 (and SX-42) line stringing is a bit critical I would like to get the proper line.  Where/who sells the correct line? And when I get new line are there some tips on making it less difficult?  Thanks in advance.
