Default Hallicrafters S-20R help needed

After getting into the thing I find the dial was
restrung wrong. I can't find any instructions for
re-stringing anywhere. Its _not_ the same as the S-40 and
similar receivers. For instance, there is an extra idler
pulley next to the band spread main pulley (on the
capacitor). Plus, the string must be locked on the middle
idler and I would like to know the official method for
doing
this.

Thanks to Phil Nelson I got some info on the
restringing and a good source of dial cord. Phil also
answered my question about speaker mounting.
The material he recommends is braided Dacron fishing
line. This is available at any sports supply store, I got
some at a Big 5. Not expensive and works like a charm.
