Default Re: HMV 2182 dial cord replacement

Following the diagram, turn the drum fully clockwise and attach the cord with a knotted loop secured with blutack.

Wind seven turns on the tuning drive, from the bottom up, secure with a piece of masking tape.

Now wind five turns on the lower pulley, making sure that the slot is facing the front of the radio. Secure with tape again.

Go around the first cord guide, secure with tape, then around the second guide and secure.

Now clip on the cursor at the far right as per the diagram.

Align the slot in the pulley as shown towards the bottom of the radio. Wind four turns from the top down. You may have to secure each turn as you go.

Then feed the cord through the slot and put one turn on the small pulley and secure.

Take the cord around the drive drum and make a pencil mark where the spring will be attached. Unwind from the drive drum and attach spring on the mark. Don't cut the excess cord off yet!

Remove all the tape and blutack and test by gently rotating the tuning dial. If the cursor travels in the right direction and the cord remains secure you can cut off the excess. If there is any slippage then reapply tape to the drive drum, release the spring and move the knot away from the spring by 10-15mm and reattach.

All this may work first time! If not, keep trying!

Good luck.
