Yes, those are really easy to repair with everyday available materials.
Elastic cord from a fabric store or sewing center or even places such as
Walmart. And then one can re-use the original line, less the elastic
cord, which is the part that fails anyway. Or get about 18" of nylon
fishing line. Remove the knobs, remove the faceplace and everything is
in front of you. If you've lost your way around the pulleys and idlers,
there are many drawings available.......including one in the manual.

Speaking of restringing, mine once died just a few hours into CQWW DX contest.
I found some elastic band in my XYL sewing box.
Not sure what she uses it for but it worked FB in my 238.

I have a nice 238 tuner for sale. I haven't listed it yet because I need to
pick up a suitable shipping box for it. If anyone is interested, please email
me directly off list. The dial cord is in fine shape and I'm also including a
new restringing kit that you can install in a few decades when it's eventually
needed. It also includes the manual. Photos are viewable at

GM Scott,
I believe your tuner must be a 238, not a 238A.
The "A", the dial and dial cord was replaced by a turns counter, and
it is identical to the 238-B, except for the color of the enclosure.
In the manuals archive, there is only one manual for the 238A and 238B.
A page has been added before the cover page, saying "The model 238A
and the model 238B tuners are Identical except for color."

I have a 238A I bought from an Estate sale. I know the cord is
broken but other wise it’s in good shape. Let me know if you are interested.
