[Hallicrafters] Cleaning dials and Reproductions

[Julian Bunn]

Yes, RadioDaze is great: I bought a replica SX110 dial from them, and it 
is indistinguishable
from the original.

The trouble with scanning/reproducing etc. is that it is impossible (or 
nearly) to find a printer
that will print the white letters needed for these dials.
