I know its not a boombox, but I just got this Beolit 600 and the string for the radio needs replacing. I have the service manual. But I don't understand why it's telling me about 1/4 turns etc.

It just means that the pulley behaves like a tensioning pulley on a car engine with the belt (string) merely being pushed to parallel. Without that pulley, the string won't be parallel with the other run and probably needs more room. On a larger boombox, might not be a problem but on such a skinny radio, probably needs all the room it can spare.
In short, just run it across the pulley without winding it. It only needs to skim or contact about 90 degrees of the pulley. It's the 4 turns on the large drum that is important.
