1. The cord should be a 'healthy' sized 'cotton'-type cord, as opposed to the synthetic narrow 'fishing'-type used in many of todays pedals.
2. Where the volume-cord ends pass thru a holes, they are 'knotted' to keep them secure from slipping thru.
3. The ends of the tone-cord are tied to the end of its tension spring.
4.The tone-cord passes one and one-half turns around the 'barrel' on the tone-pot shaft.
5.The volume-cord passes one and one-quarter turns around the 'barrel' on the volume-pot shaft.
6.The amount of pull required of the tension springs are minimal, barely separating their coils (provided the pulleys and pots turn freely on their own).
7.When properly strung, the volume-cord will pass through the 'loop' created by tone-cord.
8.There should be a single steel ball in the curved groove in the 'toe-area' between the 'foot-treadle' and the upper portion of the pedals main structure. This ball acts as a bearing for lateral movement of the forward (toe) part of the 'foot-treadle'.
