    Beocenter 2600 how thick is a piece of thread?

    Sorry that was just a tag line to catch interest. I have a Beocenter 2600 in pieces on the bench and the dial drive cord connecting the tuning slider to the fm tuner  is broken. I've found an old manual which indicates how it is attached round various pulleys. However I presume that the spare cord is not available - any suggestions for a suitable replacement? I guess it will need to be both strong and not too slippy but also not too tight.

     

    Thanks

    It's real dial string.
    I've seen fishing line and other types used with different success but there's nothing
    like the real thing.
    It's still available from some dealers.

    How much do you need? Pretty sure I have some in the shed.If I have enough you are more than welcome to it.

    Thanks so much. The manual says 125 cm which sounds like a lot I know but it goes round several pulleys.

    I've got little to offer in return unless you want a copy of the service manual! Incidentally I got the Beocenter and manual  for free from Freecycle - bits turn up occasionally so you might want to register in your area. Once I get this one up and running I can use it instead of my really old and failing Beolab/Beomaster 1700 setup which I bought myself for my 21st birthday (I'm 60 next year!).

     

    Best regards
