[Heathkit] sb-301 dial

[Chris Codella, W2PA]

John,

The only completely effective way to do this is to remove the front 
panel and take off the dial mechanism.  It's really not all that 
difficult, especially if you have the assembly manual.   In the process, 
you'll not only end up with a nice looking dial but it'll work better 
too after you clean the parts. 

If you don't have the assembly manual, let me know and I'll try to walk 
you through it.

73,
