[Heathkit] Faceplate inck

[rbethman]

Dave,

Before I'd go the 'paint alternative', I would try some alcohol on a 
Q-tip or such.

FIRST - on somplace that you can test for effect on the paint.  IF it 
passes that test - THEN try the ink marks.  Alcohol WILL remove EVEN the 
permanent-ink "Sharpie" marks.

My problem is the previous owner of these rigs put small, but certainly noticeable, ink pen marks on the faceplates of both rigs.  Example: On the SB-401, where the final tunes to 80 meters, there is a small ink line and above it the numbers "80", and so on through 10 meters. On the receiver, there are similar ink lines and numbers inserted just above and around the preselector control.
