Philco 77 Dial String Problem
#5

I fixed the problem.  Used regular dial string (the thinner stuff).  I made a full revolution around the pulley attached to the tuning knob and voila it works just fine.  I didn't need to go with a larger diameter cord.

Now I have one last problem to resolve with my antenna and ground posts.  They are clearly spring-loaded but they won't push down to accept a wire.  I have WD-40 ed them and also used turbine oil, but still can't get them to push down.  Anyone else have this problem?  Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks everyone,
Joe Miller
