[Hallicrafters] Cleaning dials and Reproductions

[Bill Gerhold]

Some of you obviously do not know of this site:
 
http://www.radiodaze.com/

They have various reproduction glass dials for Hallicrafters equipment and
will make ones they do not have.  I bought one for the SX-111 and it is a
perfect replacement.  Notice I did not call it a reproduction.

P.S.  I do agree about the digital image of a dial prior to doing anything
with it.  I would add the taking of detailed measurements of the location of
lettering, lines, scales etc.  So an exact reproduction can be made if need
be.

If you have the dial removed from an old piece of radio gear consider taking
a scan of it if you have a flatbed scanner.  We should all have scanners
since they're, after rebate, frequently available for well less than $25.
It's cheap insurance to save an image that can be lost forever.
