[Hallicrafters] Dial repair

[Craig K6QI]

Hi Joe,

I repaired an S-20 dial, similar to the 173's, with the clear plastic 
separator plate that comes with a pack of CD's. It's nice and round, clear 
plastic and about the same size! I tacked it on with Elmers glue around the 
edge. I was afraid that Model and super glue would warp the old stuff the 
original dial was made of. Works great and can't be seen (from the 
outside). I would send you a couple of the plastic disks but I just threw 
them out last week! Long gone now. Ask around on the lists if you don't use 
a CD burner. I'm sure someone would have a pile of them.
