[Lafayette] HA-63

[John Pelham]

If it's any consolation, I did the same thing to my very own HA-63A, when I 
was 14 years old, in 1967.  I still remember clearly the horrible sinking 
feeling I got as I saw all those dial markings go down the drain.  But 
fortunately I was able to order a replacement glass from Lafayette, an 
option that is no longer available!

73,
