[Hammarlund] Hammarlund Digest, Vol 172, Issue 4

[Richard Knoppow]

    FWIW, the dials on my 129 are not yellowed but the dial 
window is. I need to make new windows, does not look difficult. I 
just have too much going on to get to it.
    Sometime I will find replacement dials for my HQ-120-X The 
original dials have delaminated. Not fixable, have to be 
replaced. This set was worked over by someone before I got it. 
Without tuning dials that work its hard to know if the receiver 
works right.
