While the stringing was straightforward in layout and didn't need any attention from me, I was impressed with the way they'd used a length of thin steel wire between the pointer and the drum. The rest was conventional cord with the expected tension spring. But of course, the steel wire isn't prone to stretching like normal cord, which helps to ensure the RF alignment doesn't drift.
Yes, I've also seen steel wire plus cord used on a HMV 1124, which was the first valve radio I ever got.
