Dial cord direction for Philips 790a/Mullard MAS4 - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Does anyone have any of the above (there are also many other sets with the same type of dial cord set up).

I have been searching through all the Philips/Mullard service sheets for the direction of the dial scale cord and there are no diagrams or mention of the direction for the cord' I have even tried a Dutch vintage radio site but still no luck.

Does anyone have any ideas where I may continue me search please.

Thank you.

When I look at the images on the internet I find the Mullard MAS4, the Philips 790a and the Philips 790-16.

All three seem to have different dial cord arrangements.

We need to identify which chassis you have.

Thank you.

My chassis is installed into 790a cabinet.
