Anyone know where to find a Crosley Model 23 Dial Cord diagram

Anyone know where to find a Crosley Model 23 Dial Cord diagram? The cord is mostly gone, so I cant just duplicate the olds one ....

Dial cord replacement is NOT my favorite part of radio restoration..... But it's got to be done...... This oldie has a beautiful wooden cabinet in fair shape. I will be applying some new finish to to the cabinet. The radio works but hums, new filter caps are ordered. The only other broken item is the power switch on the rear of the volume pot, was fried, and left a burn mark on the chassis (before I got the radio). I doubt I will find one, so I will likely just use an inline power cord switch.

This is a 1941 radio. Google found me a schematic but not a dial cord diagram.

Just for grins, how does a person find a replacement pot switch that will fit?

buy a few garage sale radios, A lot of them use the same pot/switch. Also found in other old audio stuff.

I have NOS Centralab and IRC stackable potentiometers and switches that I hope to be postng on my web site soonish. This is where you build a volume control using the various controls, shafts and switches to get what you need.

But, you will find that most of them are quite intuitive. No radio manufacturer wanted this to be complicated - complication takes time.

Back in the old days, we'd always use the OEM switch/control assy when the part store had them, but there were so many different types that often the OEMs weren't available, so the counter guy would go through the Centralab b ook, and come to the counter with a collection of parts and we'd assemble t he control right there. The only two issues were that we'd often have to c ut the shaft down a bit to make the length correct and the universal snap i n shaft had a bit of tactile free play that the OEM didn't, but otherwise i t was a fast and long term solution as the Centralab stuff was well made. BTW, was CTS a different company or the same as Centralab?

Hi there,

CTS (Chicago Telephone Supply) is a different company. You can find a company history, in annoying reverse order, so you have to scoll from the bottom up, here:

another possibility is guitar amplifier parts, like at 'amplifiedparts.com'

this search resulted in several hits, maybe one will work?
