[Hallicrafters] S-108 dial glass

[Jim Tripp]

Oh, I didn't know that.  I don't have an SX-110 and the pictures I
have seen look like the dial glass extend over the S-meter. I actually
ordered an SX-110 dial glass thinking it would work, but the seller
sent me something different, like an S-120 or something that did not
work.  I had to return it.

I was pretty sure I went through this with Radiodaze, but I will have
to revisit it with them.

Thanks for that bit of important info.

Now:  Does anyone have an extra polished aluminum trim piece that
extends across the entire front of an S-108?  Mine is missing that
piece. This is the wide horizontal strip that is behind the main
tuning dial and the band spread dial.

The S meter is completely separate from the dial glass.

I think that the SX-110 glass is identical to the S-108 glass.
