Hello.

I've searched the Phorums and the web for a diagram of the cord routing of the moving light assembly that illuminates the four band switch settings on the dial.  Ron posted a diagram a few years ago but it is no longer available. The cord is missing on my radio.  Can anyone help with a diagram or photo?

Cheers.

Hi Bob.

Thanks for trying to help me. I have the stringing diagram for the dial pointer. I was looking for a diagram of the string routing for the moving dial lamp. The lamp highlights the band setting. I figured it out shortly after posting so I deleted my post.

Cheers,
Scott
