Dial String Slippage

Radio Road

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

Got a receiver where the dial string slips just a hair when the receiver is first turned on. I can turn the dial in the opposite direction just a bit and then reverse and all is good for the rest of the day.

There used to be a dial string dressing that would correct this, going back to the '60. Does anyone make something like it today or does anyone have an idea for a substitute. I do not want to try to tighten the cord as it seems fine as is and has subjectively the same tension as another receiver of the same brand that uses the same layout, etc and does not slip.
