Tuner tragedy!

Sorry about your tuner but don't despair; it's actually a straight forward DIY fix that I've done before a few times.  

The easiest solution (which might sound crazy) is if you can, simply superglue the ends of the broken string together and then refit it.  The only challenging part is to get the tuner display to match up with the frequency that's tuned in, but in most cases, the display indicator, being attached directly to the string via friction, can be adjusted easily.

If the old cable is shot and that won't work... Dental floss.

Thanks for providing your thoughts on the Rush reissue - I was really hoping that someone had heard it.  I have all the original LPs from back in the day and love them but I was most interested in the new reissue for no other reason than 2112 was remastered in Abbey Road studio, which happens to use the same speakers that I own (why I bought them).

As of late, I've been generally disappointed in new vinyl reissues since they've all inevitably entered the digital domain (which makes playing the vinyl more than a bit hypocritical).

My gut tells me that for $79, I may as well add it to my collection just for S&G's....  I'll get the order in next week and when I receive them, I'll report back...  Which could be months thanks to USPS Media Mail :)

Good luck with your project and let us know how it goes!

I'm almost positive that it's a polyurethane string and if you want to do it "correctly" take the old one into a fabric store and they'll set you up with a perfect replacement.  If you go with the dental floss, I actually think that the waxed versions are better since they are less prone to fraying and will be much easier to create a perfect knot.
