    Its been too long to remember clearly but I think the window in my 
S-38B was held in by sort of rivets in the corners. I also can't 
remember if it was flat all over or had raised sections to fit the dial 
windows in the cabinet. If flat there is suitable plastic sheet 
available at hobby shops and art supply stores. If it was shaped I don't 
know how to go about duplicating it. I think the same window was 
probably used on all of the S-38's until the D and in some other 
Hallicrafters rigs which used similar cabinets.
