[Hallicrafters] restoring yellowed clear plastic fronts on SX-100 & SX-96 S-meters

[Gerry Steffens]

Thanks for the words guys.

I have been restoring and collecting since the late 1960s.  I have tried the
Novus and the Meguiar's stuff (Novus 1,2 & 3 also Meguiar's 10, 17, 18) to
little or no avail.  

Since I also do classic cars, I have used the headlight restorer on some
plastic lenses that had deteriorated down to translucent as opposed to
transparent.  It seems to work on those extremely yellowed lenses and thus I
wondered if anyone had tried it on Halli S-meters.  At this point I am a
little hesitant to risk any of my good meters (I sold off the marginal ones
- chips or cracks, etc,) which are all in radios.

I am a collector and I have approaching a dozen Hallis (out of about 34)
that need treatment.

Thanks for the input.

Cheers,
Gerry
