[TenTec] 238 Tuner Dial

[demerson]

There was a thread back in 2003 about replacing the elastic in the 238 
tuner dial with a long, thin metal spring. This should not need 
replacing every few years, as is the case with the elastic. See the 
archives for around December 2003, in particular:

and other messages in that thread.

   I recently replaced the elastic in my model 229 tuner (the same drive 
system as the 238) with elastic supplied by TenTec, but the next time 
the elastic needs to be replaced I intend to use a metal spring instead.
