[Hallicrafters] cleaning glass dial covers on SX-100

[john]

If you have a radio with a slightly dirty dial, each time you use it,
you'll remind yourself you're operating an old radio.

If  you have a radio with a clean dial with smudged and partially ruined
dial scales, each time you use it, you'll remind yourself that you were a
meathead to have ignored the advice to NEVER clean a scale (meter, dial or
otherwise)!!!

Trust me on this one!
