A Philco 91 restore
#25

I thought I was all done with the 91B but when I went to check it out to get ready to reinstall it into the cabinet the tuner was not rotating all the way. A quick look and I could see the dial cord was fraying and causing the problem. This set uses a thick braided dial cord, something on the order of .06 inches or 1.7mm. Just for grins I tried using the 0.028 cord that is sold by various folks but it slipped on the dial pulley. I tried a double loop around the pulley...no go. So have ordered some 1.7 mm braided cord that was discussed in one of Ron's posts for a 16 dial cord.
