[Hallicrafters] SX-43 Dial glass

[jeff at podengo.com]

Charlie --

It's very close. The lettering on the glass is in red, and it has the numbers repeated in reverse order on the left side of the center line.

The glass appears to also be slightly smaller than the S-40. I've got an S-40B here and the distance from the center line to the center of the "4" is two inches on mine. On the SX-43 is it slightly less than 1 3/4".

However, it didn't occur to me to create a reproduction -- which shouldn't be too difficult after looking at it.

And all -- thanks for the link to radiodaze. I have a trashed S-20R and S-38C that I picked up as well and was wondering how I was going to restore them. Now I can get out the sander and spray gun!

Jeff, is this dial glass the same as that used on an S-40 or S-76?If so, I have silk-screened glass replacements. Also, is the original screened in yellow or red?I have attached a picture of the yellow screened version at the end of the email.73, Charlie k3ICH----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff" To: Sent: Friday, December 26, 2014 12:51 PMSubject: [Hallicrafters] SX-43 Dial glass>I just recently picked up an SX-43 with decent cosmetics.
