Sb 401

[Bob And Bettina Groh]

Found a couple of sources for 'dial cord' - the stuff you are refering 
to - I keep a couple of small packages of the stuff around as you seem 
to need it for a lot of the older radios.

http://www.radiodaze.com/dialbelts.htm
They have 0.030" diameter in rolls of 25 ft for only $3.75 per roll 
(very inexpensive)
Black no-stretch nylon over fiberglass core
Also heavier 0.040" diamter

http://www.tubesandmore.com/
Antique Radio Supply has 'dial drive cable' listed on page 69 in their 
latest catalog
0.028" diameter black no stretch nylon over a fiberglass core - PN S-M75 
$1.00 per ft

http://www.dialcover.com/components.html
Has dial cord in two diameters and very inexpensive (20 feet for $1.50)
Also has a 'dial cord rosin mix' for increasing the 'traction'
Plus a lot of other neat stuff.

So there you are. I suggest you pick one of these and buy some - frankly 
I would go with one the less-expensive places (Antique Radio used to be 
pretty inexpensive but no job there now) and buy a couple of rolls for 
your stock.

>Hello again, where can I get the string that is used in the SB-401?  It's the string that used to change frequency..  So far I've tried using Fire line fishing line and masons string, The masons line is a bit to big and the fishing line slippes both are no good.  Any ideas?/?
