Good news: I repaired the dial string and it looks to work: I cut some strong cotton thread to the same length as the original, coated it in candle wax, and strung it up. The tuning knob now works, so all I'll need to do is give the needle a nudge if it is in the wrong spot.

Here's where things get difficult: I've noticed some differences between my set and the schematic, such as cap and resistor values. Perhaps it is based off the 2053 but with some revisions?

There's also some bad news- one side of the coil marked L2 appears to be frayed. any suggestions as to what I can do?

Thanks,
VintagePC
