[Hallicrafters] SX-99 and plastic dials

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

Actually, those plastic dials are not nearly as delicate as the green ones 
as used on the S-40's  They'll erase with water!, but the white ones 
screened reversed in black are quite durable.

You can safely scrub them with mild cleaner and a toothbrush.  I've done a 
few and never lost a letter.

73, Charlie k3ICH
