12-ft Dial Cord String Braided for Vintage Tube Radio Tuner 0.031" (0.8mm) Brown

📻 Vintage Radio Dial Cord – Smooth, Accurate Tuning Every Time

Check out my other Dial Cord!

Restore precise tuning performance to your vintage radio with this 12-foot copper-colored braided nylon dial cord (0.8mm / 144") — the perfect balance of flexibility, strength, and minimal stretch.

Unlike twisted cords that loosen over time, this braided nylon cord maintains steady tension, ensuring accurate pointer travel and smooth knob rotation for years to come. Ideal for both tube and transistor sets, it’s suitable for brands like RCA, Zenith, Philco, GE, Motorola, Silvertone, Westinghouse, and vintage Japanese sets from Sony, Toshiba, Sanyo, Panasonic, and Hitachi.

For added performance, a light touch of violin rosin can improve pulley grip over time — a classic technician’s tip.
