[Hallicrafters] dial and band windows

[Larry Woodworth]

Hello all,
I am back on this list after awhile of being away. As the manager of 
the Ensor Park and Museum in Olathe Kansas my newest need is to ask 
for help in the restoration primarily in cosmetics, of a number of 
Hallicrafters sets that we have been donated. Marshall Ensor 
1904~1970, W9BSP, only relyed on the brand for his communications for 
many years. The result is that we have solicited and received a 
number of them to add to the couple that are  displayed at the 
museum. We have an SX-24, SX-28 and S-36 to spiff up for display by 
this spring. They will compliment an SX-16, SX-111, S-40 and S-40B. 
My basement seems to be the staging area for the task.

Currently my need is to know if there is a source for remade dial 
discs for main and bandspread for our SX-24, that I assume were 
originally celluloid, and a safe way to make the viewing windows for 
each more clear. Also our signal strength meter is in bad shape due 
to a radial split brass bezel and housing with a multitude of 
parallel splits around its circumference. A good replacement would 
find interest here. We have some interesting trades available. I may 
have other needs when getting to the other two hallies.

If you never were familiar with Mr Ensor and his home that is now a 
National Historic Site, check into our website; <www.w9bsp-w9ua.org> 
Our MEMO Club of ham operators and local Santa Fe Trails Amateur 
Radio Club help with the effort to run the web site and care for the 
museum by being guides for the visiting public.

We operate our club station [W9BSP, W9UA] within the original little 
radio room in the 110 year old farm house. It is very fun duty.

Feel free to reply to list or to larryw0hxs at kc.rr.com.
