Panasonic SG-999 help with tuner stringing

Radio Road

Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

I have a vintage Panasonic SG-999 which I just finished repairing and making good as new with one exception - I forgot to note the string traversal for the tuner control! DHOOOAAAH!! I have no idea how to rewrap it and the service manual I have doesn't show it. Maybe it's not complete or maybe it was never in there. In any case - anyone have any experience with how this string goes back on? I posted pics of the various flywheels. In some cases there is a upper and lower on the same axle, which I labeled Xa and Xb accordingly. All axle points are numbered 1-9.

Also, the reason I tool it off int he first place was it was slipping pretty badly - even though it was tight. I bought some violin rosin and have rubbed that over the string. Previously, I tried rubbing alcohol to dry it, but wasn't seeing any improvement with that so was hoping the rosin would work. Assuming I can get this back together to begin with, anything better to put on the string to make it catch the tuner shaft better?
