There are no electronic stores anywhere near me. I cant believe the

Anyhow, it's just string, but I know it needs to be strong and last for
years. Walmart has a lot of sewing and hobby stuff. Maybe there is a
thick thread that will work.

Someone on another forum suggested using fishing line. I know that stuff
is durable, but I know little more, since I dont fish. What guage and
material should I look for? If some of you are fishermen, maybe you
could just tell me what brand name and item number to buy. This cant be
rocket science. It's just string..... But what will work and last?

Oceanic radio, as well as the radio in a late 1960s era console stereo.

Thanks

I have an entire spool of the stuff. how much do you need?

I probably only need 6 or 7 feet for the two radios I presently need to
restring, but I'd like to get at least 25 ft. because I know there will
soon be another antique radio needing a new dial string. (And antique
radios are mostly all I work on).
