[Milsurplus] BC-610 E Plate Tuning

[Rick Brashear]

Good Morning....

On my BC-610 E the metal flange (can't remember what it's really called) 
behind the original knob has been pretty well marked up and has tape 
applied to mark different settings.  In the ownership process, somewhere 
down the line, it was also polished.  My question is, did it at one time 
have any markings on it or is it simply there so you can lock the knob?  
On my old "I" model the same flange is larger and has a graduated 
scale.  I don't know if the "I" model knob and flange are original, but 
I'm positive the "E" model in question is as the knob is the old 
steering wheel type and has Hallicrafters on it.

If, in fact, it is supposed to have markings (which I think it is) does 
anyone happen to have a spare flange laying around they'd like to sell?

Thanks for any advice and Happy Holidays to all...
Rick
