[Boatanchors] Thin clear dial material

[Philip Atchley]

John,

I needed a plkastic window for a LCD display in a homebrewed receiver. 
I used the clear plastic from one of those "thin" CD jewel cases.  It 
cut easily, can be "scribed" and chances are, you had an old CD around 
somewhere with a case you can "borrow".
