On my Zenith TO, I need to replace the dial string. Since I cant repair
the radio till I get my parts order, I thought I'd work on that dial
string. I still need a suitable diagram showing how to install that
string. I also need to know what sort of string to use. Is this
something I can buy at Walmart in the sewing dept., or do I need to buy
it online? (something special made for radios).
I'm also wondering how to get the pointer to the correct place on the
dial? When I removed the chassis, that pointer fell out.
I'm thinking that maybe I need to repair the radio first, so I can get
the dial tuned to a known AM radio station.
* I did watch a youtube video of a guy change that string on a 500
series ZTO, but that 500 has the round dial. I have the slide type.
