Hello everyone. Newbie here. I got me a Soviet made Riga 103 Radio.
I have a problem with WHF dial string. It is out of its place and whatever I have done so far, I cant make it. I also need a clear schematics of it. Any help would be appreciated. Kind Regards.

Hi Venturer,

Welcome to the forum!

Here is a two page document on the radio, with the schematics and the dial string layout:

Here is an "essay" about the same radio, also includes high resolution pictures of the schematics and radio layout (do run the site through a translator, it is quite entertaining):

Thanks for the links. It is in Hungarian. The dial string drawing is not very clear when it comes to the wheelbase. I have no idea how to make knots with both ends. Sorry I'm not a tech guy. Have I made myself clear?
