I just acquired a late HQ-180C in really nice condition except fro a few 
things.  The Left Main Tuning Dial is badly discolored from UV probably 
from the Sun.  The Right hand Bandspread dial looks pretty good.  I'd 
like to replace both of them with nice dials so they match.  Anyone out 
there with some good looking dials?  The meter should also be replaced.  
Or, at least the front cover and maybe the backlite Meter scale.  They 
too are not in great shape.  I suspect the pilot lamp has burned the 
meter scale.  Finding another meter from a 170 or 180 would be 
preferred.   If anyone out there has a nice meter and or Dial Scales, 
I'd sure like to hear from you.  If I can locate these parts, I'll be 
able to restore this 180 to near mint condition.  Caps, tubes, resistors 
and alignment are no problem.  Thanks for reading this.  Hope someone 
can help.
