1964 Westinghouse AM/FM Clock Radio Issues

[vortalexfan]

Hello everyone, I recently bought from an online auction locally for an antique shop that went out of business a 1964 Westinghouse AM/FM/FM AFC Clock Radio model H-940LN6 that when I got it the FM Tuning dial indicator wouldn't rotate with the AM Dial when you turned the tuning knob, which I figured out that it was because the plastic Tuning dial indicator disc had broken free from its metal pulley because the epoxy that they used to hold the tuning disc to the pulley assembly failed because it basically "dried out" after 60+ years of use, and so when I went to try and reassemble the tuning indicator disc back to the pulley assembly I ended up undoing the dial string and now I'm having trouble restringing the tuning dial string on this radio and the Sam's Photofact dial stringing diagram is kind of useless because it shows 3 different stringing diagrams for several different models of radio and the one that they have for my clock radio seems to either have a typo or isn't correct, because when I tried to follow the strining diagram in the Sam's for this radio, I end up with not enough string to make it around the pulley for the FM tuner/Tuning Knob, and as far as I know the tuning string on this radio is the original tuning string.

The other thing that ends up happening is that if I try to do less turns on the tuning knob shaft pulley I can make the string reach the end of the stringing path but then I can't get the tuning knob to turn the FM Tuner pulley or the AM Tuner Tuning capacitor (almost as if they are trying to turn against each other and they are turning in opposite directions from each other) and the Sam's doesn't specify which way the FM Tuner's Pulley needs to go, and the AM Tuner's Pulley needs to go, (it does but only for the two non-applicable stringing diagrams, it doesn't show anything for the stringing diagram I need.)

Another odd thing about this radio is that the band switch was replaced at some point in time and when it was replaced the person that replaced the band switch fastened it to the cabinet with two machine screws fastened to the front of the cabinet, and I noticed that the original switch was held in with plastic tabs inside the cabinet, and it seems that it must of been a common repair made to this radio because all of the other radios like this have also had this kind of repair done to this radio where the band switch was replaced at some point in time and it was secured to the cabinet using screws attached to the front of the cabinet.

Any help would be appreciated with this radio especially with the dial strining process because I'm nearly at my wits end with this radio trying to get this radio dial restrung.
