Fitting Dial Cord - Bush VHF90

[Bushbaby]

Hi All,
I suppose that it had to happen at some point with radio restoration - I need to refit the dial cord. Can any one indicate a straightforward way of doing this. I've been huffing and puffing (in a manner of speaking) for the last 40 minutes on it getting absolutely nowhere!!

Doh

Never had cause to do it on one of those and I'm too p***ed to think straight. Have you got a diagram? Here's a couple if not:-

       

I don't think there are any easy ways of doing such things; just give it a rest before you snap and chuck it at the wall.

Does you no credit, although I have to say that the Bridge Bitter was particularly splendid tonight

Hi Rob, I see Joe jhas posted the details.
If you have a dial chord job but no manual it pays to sit down and think about it all for a while before jumping in, doing them without a manual is either straight forward or nasty...The first rule is to make sure that there is enough chord wrapped round the drum so that the infeed and outfeed ends of the chord are not in a direct line of pull with the tuning knob shaft or pulleys at any point when rotating the drum through it's rotation which in most cases is normally 180 degrees.....I think I've got that right!?

Firstly - Many thanks Joe for the info which is most greatfully received.

I've noticed that the drum is 180 degrees out of sync with the diagram. As I recall last night, I couldn't do anything to change this. It must have gone on originally so why do i have a problem now?

Hi Rob, in restringing it and trying it what is the nature of the problem?
