Majestic model 939 dial string diagram
#1

Hello guys,
Have a Majestic model 939 console that needs the dial string restrung.
Anyone here ever done one of these?
Don't even see where you can remove the front panel to get at the pulleys.
Have removed the glass which exposes a piece of felt.
If that were removed, there is an opening in the front panel.
Looks like a real bear to get in there to install a new string!
Have not found a dial cord diagram yet.
Suggestions?

Anyway, its now done and working great!

Restringing....everyone's "favorite" Icon_smile

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

I actually don't mind restringing dial cords, though I'm probably a bit rusty with it now. I have a thing with repairing 8 track cartridges too, but some people like knitting. The pulleys may be on the back of the back plate, on some sets the plate comes off and they are mounted on some brackets, on others they are riveted onto the plate itself, I'm not speaking of this model just generically. Without seeing it I really have no idea how the string would have been routed, but there is usually a drum on the tuning cap with an expansion spring on one end, and just the cord on the other, but there is a lot of variation, this isn't permeable tuned is it? 
Regards
Arran
