AnyFM tuner mechanics out there?

Perhaps  can shed some light on what's going on with my Mac MR 71?

Recently had the tuning dial cable restrung. Now I can't rotate the tuning dial to the right past 91.5! I can turn the dial all the way left. I popped the cover to inspect the cable, and don't see any obvious binding. For now I'm at least stuck with all the public stations I listen to.



Any idea what could cause the tuning mechanism to bind as described?

The string is indeed slipping. Turning the dial to the right and helping the cable along, the dial is now moving freely. Couldn't determine where the slipping was occurring
Resin is your remedy. It's available in any good music store - the same stuff violinists use.

Dial strings are more likely to slip than bind. Inspect the string while turning the tuning knob and look for slip. If that’s what’s happening, applying a small amount of resin can remedy the problem.
