[Hallicrafters] SX96 dial glass repair

[Steve Garwood]

I ordered a dial glass from Radio Daze for the SX-62.....  Very nice.  This one was plexiglass, but it sets behind a clear piece of glass.  No way to tell from an original, except the silk screening was not cracked.

They have a nice selection, but unfortunately I do not see one listed for the SX-96

>>> HI - I picked up an SX96 parts radio that was missing, among other things, a  bandspread dial glass, but found that someone had saved it, in cardboard inside  the radio.  ANd the radio is now receiving on the AM band, so I'm trying  CPR.
