[HBR] WTB-3 1/2 dial

[R.J. Mattson]

Hello Helm,
Have you found a dial?
I searched but had not luck. I am still unpacking. I have another area
to look in
Can you really etch a number scale on metal?. I need to replicate a
dial that has raised numbers and increments. Would you use copper
and resist decals?

Ok. I've lower my sights, does someone have just the 3 1/2in. dial?
Manufacturer unimportant.  Please state price, condx, etc.

Nice pair of regens you guys built.  Me too, mine's in the chassis stage
and still looking for a part or two.  HBR on hold again.  Interesting,
mention some type of vernier drive mechanism and the next thing that pops
up is regenerative radios.

I wonder if Kee's would publish some pics on his web page?  They are
homebrew receivers (HBR 1's or 2's?).  Some people who want to build the
HBR-16 ask if there's something they could build since they don't have any
experence.  A simple regen could be good.

As an added thought about my dial.  Could some mike out the thickness of
their dial.  As a last resort I'd cut and etch one
up in my lathe.

Regards,
Helm.  WB2ADT
