Replacing a dial tuner cord

Hello, I have a Standard SR-207U that I was replacing the lamps on and my 11 year old got into the dial tuner cord and managed to get it off the tuning wheel. Taking the faceplate off was a little tricky, so luckily I took a couple pictures of the original routing, which are the first two pictures here (The other two pictures show the current incorrect wrap). I cannot for the life of me figure out the wrapping around the tuning wheel. I wrapped it again, almost exactly how it looked in my two original pictures, but I can't get the part of the tuning cord around the tuning wheel twice. It will either wrap around once with a ton of slack, or wrap around a little less than 1.5 times and runs out of cord. The needle matches up perfectly with the tuning wheel coming off the side tied to the wheel, so it has to be somewhere in the routing after the dial. I'm sure I'm screwing up somewhere, and I wish I had taken a picture of the wrap around the tuning wheel before my son got curious, but I didn't. The slack on the far right is normal, it is where the faceplate has a small pulley to route over.


Does someone have a service manual that shows the routing for a Standard SR-207U? Does someone have an idea about what I'm doing wrong? sr207ureceiver.jpgtuningwheel1.jpgtuningwheel2.jpgbrokentuningwheel1.jpgbrokentuningwheel2.jpgtuningwheel1.jpgtuningwheel2.jpgbrokentuningwheel1.jpgbrokentuningwheel2.jpg

Stretching the spring should give you enough slack. Maybe take off one of the guide pulleys get it on the front-end then stretch it over the guide. Try using masking tape and take all the slack towards the front-end. I will hook the spring up and there for that last half walk it one by turning it. It is supposed to be tight. Stringing a tuner always requires getting creative.
