Just string the cord so the bandspread capacitor increases capacity as
the dial moves from 0 towards 100.
If the BS dial just reads 0--100, you can string it either way.
On my SX-11 (a real antique!), the dial reads 100 at *minimum* capacitance, the
top of the band. My Super-Pro 400 seems to be the same way.
True, the antique 3-dial BC sets used 100 for fully meshed capacitors, and 0
for wide open. So, whatever floats your boat (anchor).
Since the SX-25 has calibrated bandspread bands, I know that one was backwards!
