[TenTec] 238 Tuner Help

[W8BVH]

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.
