Thats a pretty thin rod on the tuning dial. The cord slips on it.Thought of trying to put a piece of postit under the string so it will have something with some grabing ability.

Violin string rosin cut with a bit of isopropyl alcohol brushed on the string is a old radio repairman trick. It will work...but make sure your mechanism is not binding...
Goodluck..........AJ
Thats what that is..You know AJ i have that on my hamarlund gen coverage ham receivers and I always wanted to know what that was..Where can I get some of that and will it work like on a MR67 or the MX110? That would be a super solution using the violin string.
My local luthier once used a small piece of post-it under a slipping piece of rubber on my violin bow. The way it works is that the glue part of the post-it sticks to the shaft and the outside is where the dial string wraps around it. The paper is pretty porous and grabs onto the dial string without spinning around.
I tried rubbing violin rosin on the string but no success, but next I'll try dissolving some in alcohol and applying it near the shaft.I use Hill dark which is tackier than most other rosins.Dennis

You need to restring the dial cord with new string and then you can take a couple loop links out of the spring if you want..Also make sure the mechanical string loop isn't binding anywhere because will It will cause slippage like your having.
Hi Mike,
Restringing it I'm trying to avoid in case I have troubles puting it all back together.
Dennis
I have or had a tube caddy with a stick of it inside. But when that doesnt work restringing is the only alternative.
Try antique audio supply. they would be likely to have it.
Tuning string wax is what its called i think.
Bees wax which is sold at Ace hardware. Just rub it on the string and no slip.Thanks,
