Am having a tough time figuring out how the dial cord gets strung on this model. I can't locate a stringing diagram so if anyone can point me in the right direction online I'd appreciate it. 

It's a strange set up with the tuning knob in the middle and a slide rule dial with only two rollers, so apparently, it's all one long string to go around the tuning capacitor ring, the tuning shaft, and above the dial for the pointer to attach to.

If you can locate a Sam's Photofact for your model they usually have a diagram.
