[R-390] OT: dial cord/string

[Lloyd Godsey]

Just a note:
I had to restring a radio a few years ago and didn't have any string handy. 
My XYL was making jewelery. I got into her stash of "tiger tail", a flexable 
wire used to string necklaces on. Worked great. Available at any rock shop 
or jewelery hobby supply. Or maybe I can pick some up and redistribute.
