[Elecraft] KX3: Scuff marks on display cover

[GRANT YOUNGMAN]

It depends on how deep the scratches are.

The easiest is Novus polish — a sequence of three products, available as a kit from Antique Electronic Supply, Amazon, etc.  This is best for minor surface scratches.  Micro-mesh is also really good, and available from Aircraft Spruce and other places no doubt.  http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cspages/micromeshstd.php

I’ve used both products many times doing dial cover restorations, with the Micro-mesh better for deeper scratches.  Of course, ordering a new window is the easiest and most foolproof. :-)
