[Hallicrafters] SX-101 MK III Main Tuning Dial

[Charlie]

Hello Steve.

I have made some reproduction 00 - 100 scaled backing plates for the SX-101 
and SX-88 knobs.  They are not engraved but are done with a process called 
pad-printing which allows a much sharper image than is attainable with 
silk-screening.  They are made of the same thickness brushed aluminum and 
look exactly like the originals.

I can send some pictures of one if you'd like to see it.

They are $12.00 each + $2.00 boxed shipping.

Let me know if this is what you need and I will send an email that has all 
the ordering info.
