[R-390] re: Refinish radio face with recessed lettering?

[Al Parker]

Hi Alan,
    Yes, there's an easy way, works for me, many times.  Take a look at my
webpages:
http://www.thecompendium.net/radio/
in the SP-600 section there are a few examples, with pix of the procedure,
etc.
or on The Hammarlund Historian site, I think I've got it there, too.
    Let me know if you can't chase it down, or have any questions.
