Hi TheRadio dial string broke on my 72z. Are they repairable?

I've restrung mechanisms like that (in several antique radios) with some fishing line that came to me by way of my grandfather. It's a finely braided line, probably nylon, that I imagine was used for fly fishing.

If you are going to try to repair it yourself, try Kevlar or 'Spider wire' fishing line.

It might be time to have a Pro work the radio over or consider doing the Retro-Sound upgrade. http://www.blackdragonauto.com/icatalog/zr/full.aspx?Page=2

I think Radio Shack used to sell dial string. I have restrung a few old radios as well.

thanks for the replys,ill give it a try.

Actually the question is does anyone under 40 know what this is?
