Tuner tragedy!
I'm almost positive that it's a polyurethane string and if you want to do it "correctly" take the old one into a fabric store and they'll set you up with a perfect replacement. If you go with the dental floss, I actually think that the waxed versions are better since they are less prone to fraying and will be much easier to create a perfect knot. |
Greg- regarding your post of the Rush 2112 reissue. Follow your gut... rock reissues, with the exception of unobtanioum, is to be avoided. Through patience and persistence, bin diving rewarded me with an unmolested period 2112 not long ago. As always with my findings, no punched up bass and overall "something’s not the same" feeling I ALWAYS get giving in and buying an overpriced, oversized black CD. I will be boarding the"Thailand Express" at some point this weekend-cheers |
Do a Google search for "vintage radio dial cord". It's available in different sizes, colors, and from many sources. Also, here's a link to McIntosh Tuner service manuals. There's 2 different ones for the MR71 and both have a stringing diagram. http://akdatabase.org/AKview/thumbnails.php?album=8&page=2 |
