Best way to narrow searches
#3

Bob;

Thanks for that illustration. You can understand my frustration with searches on this topic. Although the illustration you found is likely correct, imagine scrolling through all the 337 previous illustrations just find this particular one.Icon_crazy I managed to make a blow-up of the illustration shown on the schematic pages for the 40-195,40-200, 40-201 data and concluded that it is essentially the same as the one you found. There may well be other Philco models that use the thumb-wheel controls that also use this same dial stringing instruction.

I feel confident now that I can restring the dial. The radio uses two dial strings, not just one. It was not obvious in the beginning that was the case. The springs that go on the pulley attached to the tuning capacitor are missing from my radio, so I will have to find something to substitute.

Thanks.

Joe
