Stimo22 Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Any members know what the type of string is called that was used in vintage pull through. Mate has one of these and needs new string and I have old awry one that could do with repair. It is a hemp type and about 3mm but don’t know what it would be called or where I could get some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 4mm burgundy looks about the same as the one that is always in my cartridge bag and is the right price . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
