PREFACE The restringing of a dialcord is a tedious job even whenthe stringing arrangement is quite simple. On the more complicated ones it is almost impossible to restring the cord without a diagram showing how the cord is strung between the shafts and pulleys. Even the exact number of turns around each shaft must be known in order to be assured that proper operation free of binds or slippage will be obtained. Realizing the need for this type of data we have prepared this manual which is the third of the DIAL CORD STRINGING GUIDE series. The in- creased usage of dial cords in television receivers indicated that coverage of this type of equipment was warranted; therefore, we have included dial- stringing data on television receivers in this manual. The index lists all receivers which were presented in the first two manuals of this series as well as those covered in this manual, Thus, it is necessary to look in only one place to determine the diagram number which pertains to the receiver being serviced. The diagrams presented in this manual are consecutively numbered, the first one being the next consecutive number after the last number in the preceding manual in the series. This Prevents any possible confusion which might result from consulting a diagram in the wrong manual. The acceptance of the first two manuals in this series has proved the value of this practical, easy-to-use data, Obtain a copy for your workbench to make your DIAL CORD STRINGING GUIDE series complete. A copy for your tool kit will be a re&l time saver, too, LSfunPROPERTIES OF DIAL DRIVE CORD When it becomes necessary to replace a dial cord, this should be done with a cord especially devel- oped for the purpose. Replacement should not be made with fish line, string or thread. The cost of the proper cord is a minor part of the repair job which is mainly labor. In order to give satisfactory service for a long period of time, a drive cord must have the following mechanical properties: 1. Sufficient breaking strength. 2. Minimum elongation (stretch). 3. High resistance to abrasion, 4, High coefficient of friction. 5. Ability to withstand flexing, The breaking strength should not be less than 20 pounds in a straight pull test and not less than 12 to 15 pounds when knotted. This allows tying and install- ing without danger of breaking. A higher tensile strength is of little advantage, as the normal operating tension on the cord, if properly installed, is seldom greater than one pound. A good dial drive cord should have a minimum elongation or stretch. Standard specifications of lead- ing receiver manufacturers permit less than 1/4"' per foot elongation in 48 hours with an applied pull of 5 pounds. Substitute materials such as fish line often used in repair work will not meet this or some of the other requirements. A dial cord is subject to friction whenever the set is tuned and must therefore possess reasonable re- sistance to abrasion. Nylon outer braiding performsREST SATE RNST p excellently in this respect and many cords are now made using this material. A very important property for a dial drive cord is that it have a relatively high coefficient of friction. This requires that the cord should not become smooth or slick during use. The type of thread used for the outer braid, the diameter of the individual strands and the method of braiding, determine its performance and life in this respect. Small diameter drive shafts and pulleys subject the cordto continual flexing as the set is tuned. Choice of core and braid material determine the flexibility. The cordis chemically impregnated after manufacture to improve its flexibility and keep it soft during life. At present, various materials are used in the manufacture of cords to meet the foregoing require- ments. Most common of these are nylon, silk, linen and fibreglas. Nylon and silk are suitable for outer braid material while linen, fibreglas or special low- stretch nylon are employed for cores. GENERAL NOTES ON RE-STRINGING DIAL DRIVE SYSTEMS It would appear from an inspection of the dia- grams of this book that the designers have vied with each other to display their ingenuity in devising intri- cate and novel arrangements. This situation requires that any instructions which might be given here cannot be specific but must be of a general nature. There are a number of considerations which ap- ply to all drive cord systems and it is suggested that the following points be used as a check list to assure rapid and satisfactory dial cord replacement. 1. Study the diagram given in this guide and the re- ceiver itself to determine the proper end of rotation of the large pulley on the tuning system,and the position and direction of travel of the pointer, from which to start the stringing proce- dure. If the stringing indicated does not seem to exactly fit the case in point, it would be wise to study the diagrams of other receivers of the same manufacturer. In the interest of covering as many models as possible in this book, similar diagrams have been combined and consolidated where such combinations will still show the cor- rect method of stringing. In these cases the position and proportion of the various parts of the system may have been altered slightly to produce a universal diagram. All pulleys, drive shafts, tuning mechanisms and sliding indicators should be checked to deter - mine that they rotate or slide freely and have no tendency to bind. All points should be lubricated sparingly. Special light dial oil as provided by thedialaccessory manufacturers should be used. Care should be taken to see that none of the lub- ricant is left on the cord. Before actually stringing the cord around the parts of the system determination should be made that ail pulleys and slides are insuch posi- tion that there willbe no sharp bends in the cord and that parts are not subjected to side friction during operation. It is wise to next examine the tension spring or springs. If these show any indication of having had turns removed or of having been permanently stretched, they should be replaced. The new spring should be of the same shape, size and length as the original. The manufacturers of dial accessories provide assortments of springs for this purpose. If itis necessary to cut the cord tolength before stringing and the old cord is not available as a guide, be sure to cut enough cord to allow as-sembly including the tying of knots of the proper size. Since materialis relatively inexpensive it 4 is better tohave a few inches of waste than to be : forced to perform the operation over again. 6. If a number of holes for the fastening of the ten- sion spring have been provided, the spring should be positioned in one of the inner holes. This will allow later adjustment to increase the ten- sion if required. 1 After stringing, the tension should be checked to determine whether it is sufficient for reliable, proper operation. Be certain that the tension has not been made too great. In no case should the cord be as tight as a violin string. A cord which is too tight will place undue strain on all parts and will prevent the set from tuning easily. 8. The tuning system should be rapidly operated from one endto the other to make certain that no binding is present. At the same time a check should be made that there is no tendency for the cord to climb out of idler pulleys or jam at the end of motion on the drive shaft, 9. Before replacing the set in the cabinet a dropof cement should be placed on the point of fastening of the pointer or indicator and also on the knots of the cord where it is fastened to the tension spring or to the tuning drive pulley, as the case may be. This will prevent any subsequent ten- dency for the knot to become loose.Vol. 3 Previous Vola Vol. 3 Previous vols NUL SS POVIIE Nn Name Model Diag. Vol. Diag Name & Model Diag.
