Yup, my "Model SX-42" legend wasn't just "polished" off, it was scraped
off. Otherwise, the panel is nearly flawless. It's a shame. I'll figure
out a way to fix it, however.
For instance, the hub of the main tuning dial had a paint chip in it,
just under the right hand edge of the broadcast band scale. I mixed up
some matching paint and touched it up. The repair is absolutely
invisible now. The paint, by the way, was acrylic poster paint acquired
at Michael's (a widespread chain of arts and crafts supply shops). A
proper trial-by-error combination of blue, yellow and white yielded a
perfect match for the pretty Hallicrafters green (which kinda resembles
bicycle maker Bianchi's signature "Celeste" color).
There's a solution for everything.
