[Hallicrafters] Plastic Dial Material

Richard, did you ever try TAP Plastic's?  I use to frequent their places when I lived int the Bay Area.  They always had a good selection of various types of plastics that they would cut to order.

     The recent post asking about an S-19 dial reminds me to 
ask if anyone knows of a source for suitable clear plastic 
material to make dial indicators out of. I have an S-19R and 
the indicator, which may not even be the original, is quite 
yellowed and warped. I've tried all the local plastic places 
and art and craft stores to no avail. I can find either much 
thicker or much thinner material but not the right stuff. 
Similar plastic is used for dial indicators on all sorts of 
equipment and radios; there HAS to be source.
