[Milsurplus] Thin clear dial material

[Clarence M. Owens]

Hi John,

I use the vacuum formed plastic from the large and small plastic packages
that a lot of toys and electronic goodies come in for that purpose.  You
know, the ones that bring interesting swear words to mind when we're trying
to open them :-)  Some of it isn't molded very well and so its surface
texture isn't totally smooth but a lot of it is very smooth and can be used
as window material.  It comes in varying thicknesses which makes it usable
in lots of different situations.  It's bendable and takes a set which also
can be handy.  And, it's free!  Unfortunately the Prime Time for collecting
it, Christmas Morning, has passed, but perhaps you have some birthdays or
anniversaries coming soon....

I need to find some thin clear plastic material to
replace that in the tuning window of the plate tuning
capacitor on my BC 610. The window is the same as a
panel meter except there isn't space to put a glass
from a panel meter in the position between the cabinet
and the "meter case type frame". The material must be
clear and thin. I will need to scribe a reference line
in the center of the window material, which I can do
with a fine pointed pen with permanent ink.

Any suggestions about type of material and where it
can be located?? The small piece needed is 2.75 inches
by 2.75 inches. Thanks for your input and suggestions.
73, John, K5PGW
