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!?
