Sharp GF 777 Tuner String Snapped

There's a stringing diagram in the manual, looks like a pretty easy one to route:

It can be fixed but there's nothing easy about it, especially if new dial cord is no longer available and I'm pretty sure it is not. You'll have to make your own and the loop length needs to be spot on down to the mm to fit properly. A little too short and there's gonna be incredible strain on the nylon pulley transport system and too loose and it will simply slip.

No idea about the States, but over here Maplin among other suppliers of radio parts sell dial cord from the roll. The stringing diagram explains what length to start with, how many turns are required at each pulley, which end of each is on the top and where the springs go. It helps if you use a small spring balance to set the tension, though in this case the length is stated so when the route is right, then so will the spring tension.

Mistakeith, if you can't find dial cord in your location (unlikely as I'm sure that Tandy sell it and their "Radioshack" outlets are everywhere), PM me an address and I'll send you the right amount for the job. It's easy to do, anyone who can fit a set of Calvert blinds and get them meeting with the correct overlap can do this.
