You can use virtually any non-stretching string of a similar       diameter and it won't slip.              On some radios, the string passes metal rods that are not pulleys, and       there having friction would be bad.              --       Cheers, Carlos.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
