Hacker Sovereign 2 - dial cord repair
I have a Hacker Sovereign 2 radio with the dial cord that has become unwound.
Are there any guides or tips for re-cording this radio please? |

Re: Hacker Sovereign 2 - dial cord repair
Hello and welcome,
Click on the button at top right of the page, and you'll see a range of options for obtaining service data: use the Instant Downloads one, and for £1.99 you get a full copy of the service manual for the set, which includes a page showing the drive layout with fitting instructions: the cash helps pay the costs of maintaining the forum. You'll see separate listings for RP25, RP25A and RP25B Sovereign IIs, the bottom right of your set's control panel will tell you which model it is: may as well get the right one though I don't think the tuning drive was changed at all. If you need more help, or advice on what to use for drive cord if the original can't be re-fitted, just ask here. Paul |

Re: Hacker Sovereign 2 - dial cord repair
Thank you, Paul.
I have successfully purchased and downloaded the correct manual and now have a reference which I can use to hopefully re-cord my radio. Thank you |
