     The dial pointer on my S-19R has turned quite brown.  I 
think an acceptable new one can be made from the clear 
protective disc supplied in packages of blank DVD's. I have 
not tried this yet because of too many other projects. 
Trying to find suitable sheet plastic for dial pointers is 
difficult. The plastic shops locally don't have anything 
even close.
