I bought an old Andrea 3 band tube radio (AM/SW1/SW2) at a flea market. The cording on the tuner is unraveled. Does anyone know where I can find a diagram so I can restring it?
Thanks,
Boggy

Dial-cord stringing illustrated, at least for some models. Find yours and have a look.

Maybe I missed it while looking over the radio, but I can't find the model number...anyone recognize this radio?

Thank you both...you guys are GOOD! I checked nostalgiaair.org, but they only had the schematics. The radio works, but I still have no idea as to how to restring the tuner...any ideas?
