[Heathkit] Replacement Plastic Window for Tube Tester

[Tom Frobase]

Go to your local hobby shop they will have plastic sheet used for
forming model airplane canopies, which will be  close to the thickness
of the original.  What I have done in the past is to use a scoring
tool to add the guidelines.  I then fill the scored line with red
Krylon in the bottle available at Texas Art Supply.  I add a fairly
liberal amount of paint, let it almost dry and then remove the excess
with a little wd-40 on an old T shirt.  It looked as good as the
original. ... tom, N3LLL
