If it uses a tension spring make sure the cord is adjusted correctly to where the spring serves its purpose in maintaining the correct tension. 3. If its the type of drive where the cord does several laps around a small shaft, make sure that its clean and not gummed up. 4. Cord could be worn out, glazed over so-to-speak. 5. Apply some rosin (music store) or even smear some contact cement (lightly of course) to the string as a temporary fix. -Bill |

Try some rosin. They sell it at sports supply shops.

Applying the paste to the dial cord usually solves the problem. Ish |

You know you are a real anchor-ologist when you've changed the dial
string in your Drake 2-B so many times that you've become proficient at the procedure. 73 Bill N2CQR M0HBR http://planeta.clix.pt/n2cqr John Goller, k9uwa wrote: In article , says... jwb wrote: any good remedies for dial string slipping on tube receivers?
