Hello Jim,
I have a similar TT tuner with the same tuning assy. My red indicator also
broke where it goes on the dial string. I was able to glue the pieces back
together w/ super glue and a new string. It now works as it was supposed to.
I hope this helps, especially if you have all the parts. If not you could
make one.

Subject: [TenTec] 238 Tuner Help
Hoping for a 1 in a million chance someone has a junker somewhere that can
help:
TT 238 Antenna Tuner; new in 1990; has slide rule type dial using string
and elastic to drive.
The red indicator for the dial has a connection for the string and also a
pulley to string the mechanism. I ran the inductor to full stop and the
pulley broke broke off the indicator and cracked the body. Just hoping
someone might have one of these available. I'm sure it is a common part
used in other earlier TT gear.
I have emailed TenTec but don't really expect them to have this in stock.
BTW, tuner still works great but you have to spin the knob and watch the
SWR when making a change, hi.
