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

Wed Nov 2 16:55:02 EDT 2016

Be careful using fishing line in dial cord service.  Some of it (braided nylon especially)  will stretch which is the exact opposite effect you need.

The more complex the dial stringing, the more hysteresis you'll inject in the mechanical tuning if what you use is not absolutely NON-stretching.

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

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.
