[Heathkit] Need Mohican Dial cord details

Hi,

Still working on this Mohican (I'm taking my time).  Anyway, Both dial 
cords are strung and work.  However, the Bandspread dial has some minor 
problems.

All the pulley's but one are riveted in place (and turn).  This one is 
mounted to the chassis, right front corner, but in a very "odd" way.  It 
has a screw through it with a nut "tightened down" to the pulley, then 
the shaft of the screw just "stuck in a hole in the chassis.  It's 
"floppy", only the dial cord holds it in place, and it doesn't turn 
either (it's pulled up against the adjacent pulley)!

I have the few available pages downloaded from BAMA, but they aren't any 
help in this case.  IF somebody has the manual and could scan/Email the 
pages applicable to the dial cord arrangement it would be greatly 
appreciated.

If I don't get any further info I guess I'll "experiment", but am afraid 
the dial cord may get unstrung in the process.  I HATE dial cord work 
more than any other part of radio "reconstruction"!
