Fisher RS-1056: Cannot Restring Dial Cord

[TechGeek]

Hello all. I'm trying to restring the dial cord on my Fisher RS-1056 stereo receiver, but I can't figure out how it goes on the tuner shaft, and the guide in the service manual is no help. Can anyone please help? Thanks.

Service Manual:

The restring guide is on page 9.

How it is wound around the rear of the shaft is shown at the front of the shaft. The lower line from the drum goes around that pulley and under the shaft closest to the flywheel, it make 3 turns and exits at the bottom rear of the shaft and goes to the pulley far left (in picture)

Re: Fisher RS-1056: Cannot Restring Dial Cord

does this make sense? I believe that screw on the end pulley near the drum should be loosened, then when the string is in place you can tighten it so its not slipping
I see in the parts list there is also a spring inside the drum, it's possible one end (or maybe both ends) connect to the string. Are you replacing the string or just re installing the original
I found this picture, looks like one end of the spring connects to one of the posts in the drum and the other end of the spring connects to the dial string (looks like the spring connects to the shorter end of the string, the one I marked green)
I found that picture here http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.p...0-nice.291091/

Usually in the drum is a tension spring. I can't see any tensioner in the pic, where is it?
Take a look at this similar diagram, note the use of masking tape to keep things from falling out, and cranking the dial full CW before starting.

These things are a real test of patience....

When the drum is this small there is not much room for a large tension spring, Its not marked on the string diagram but is listed in the parts diagram. I believe the pulley ass'y rear is the main tensioner

I know, this is an old thread, but can anyone please provide a picture showing how the line is wound in the drum? Had to destring a few months ago and now am trying to restring.
