[R-390] R392 Painting

[Les Locklear]

I believe Fair Radio had those as replacements at one time. Don’t quote me on that as my memory on R-392’s is hazy at best.

I have a set of plastic knobs that look new(ish), would they have the same
issue?

I've only seen four 392's in person and they all have the original knobs -
two of which I brought home with me.

Here I was looking forward to bead blasting and repainting them.........

That's why you see many R-392s without knobs.

Came across a couple R392s. Front panels are in sad shape but I can glass
bead and repaint.
I had "heard" that the white paint in the knobs and possibly the lettering
is the same radioactive type used on the meters? True??
If so I may need to reconsider my approach to refinishing the panel and
knobs.
