RCA Stratoworld 3BX571
#7

Hit a big bump in the road!! The dial on this set is part of the cabinet so with the chassis out you can't tell what frequency  your on. I noticed in passing that it seemed to tune backwards (dial pointer is to the left tuning cap should be closed and open when the pointer is to the right) I didn't give it much thought as I was thinking it was just my imagination running a way with me.
Last nite I was giving the SW bands a try to hear if they where working and noticed that CHU came in load and clear and I tuned a bit higher in frequency to hear some activity on the 80mtr ham band but wait the dial pointer is moving to the left (should be moving to the right!!!!).
Now most are not particularly difficult BUT this one has 4 strings to do the tuning and move the pointer. The RCA service info is rather vague and hard to figure out. I think someone in it's past tried to restring it and wound the string around the tuning cap hub backwards. So much for unmolested!!!!
Are Phorum Phiend Bill (Sparkbench or Bill M) has on his site a simplified diagram on how to restring this thing. So I think I'll give it a go. Got to get some cord.
