[Central-Electronics] Bandhopper Refurb

[Gutfrucht, Alan]

Tom,

I also have a Bandhopper VFO here that is going on the bench soon. My dial
is in almost pristine condition, so I am going to leave it as is. But I
have two other issues. The "glass" in front of the dial is missing. I think
I can deal with that. I have bought some Lexan to cement in place and will
scribe a line to suit and fill with paint.

However, I (like you apparently) have a bad front panel. There are dozens
of "chipped" spots down to the primer. I don't know how that happened but
it looks lousy. If you find a source for a silk screen replacement as
requested earlier please let me know.

I have been looking into the possibility of using "dry transfer" decals.
There are a couple of places out there that will make them up and the
results look good.

Regards,
Alan, WB2FZC
