This is my attempt to show how to string a radio using fishing cord as dial tuning cord. I hope maybe you will get something useful from this . The radio is a Truetone DC3914 that I got at Western Auto about 50 years ago .
By the way , I did an alignment (by ear ) and now the hum I mentioned in the video is considerably better . I am thinking that at some point in the future I may add a small capacitor to improve the tone . This can be done at the speaker or volume pot .
