I would re-string or re-adjust the tension on the original. Super-glue is only to secure the knot. You maybe able to find the dial string diagram from Nostalgia Air.

the problem with my aunt's radio is that the string has not snapped but rather it has got loose from the tuning knob. It has lost its turns. Should I super-glue it on the knob or tie a knot when I have maximum tension? Thanks

Thanks Aaron,
Very glad that some of the videos helped.
Lol, the Web is great I just Googled granny knot tons of information. You just do the first part of the granny knot.

Hi Rick,
This is a great video. This one and a couple of the videos you did on aligning AM radios have been helpful to me. I've got a '70s Soundesign multi-band radio that's giving me fits right now, mostly because I can't understand the dial-stringing diagram!
My only question is this: what the heck is a "granny knot"? Do you have a video showing how to tie one? (I'm only half kidding, here!)
Thanks,
Aaron

nice video. Im new to fixing vintage radios and I was wondering if you can help me with a radio that someone gave me, its a grundig radio model 98u it has the same prob. a broken dial cord and I cant find any info on how to restring it. it works and tunes but and all thats left is to fix the string and to put the marker on the string, the marker is a small L shape wire aprox 1 inch long with red paint on one end and coiled on the other end.
Thanks and I hope you can help me out. Frank

That's a smart looking radio Rick, is it one of your own or one for repair? I only ask as it would have been nice to see a bit more of it.
Kind Regards Andy

Hey Andy,
It is a friends radio, but I do have that same model in black leatherette. Those Zenith Transoceanic are some of my favorite radios.
