[Racal] Off topic but feeling lucky - Parts for AR-88D

Thu, 7 Nov 2002 09:28:45 +0000

Dear All,
Try reposting this on the vintagewireless or vintage-bc lists on yahoo groups.
There is a guy in the UK whose name currently escapes me who made up replacement
AR88 panels.  I have one on mine.  It isn't quite as neat as the original but it is
a fair copy and looks good.  He is also a good source for replica parts for R1155s.
Hope this helps

Cheers

Robin

Rock Sea Enterprises made up a plastic window for me a couple of years ago for the
AR88 - and they may still be able to reproduce one for you as they kept the
pattern on file. It took a year to get it because it was the first, and many other
dials etc. were waiting for reproduction by them. It turned out ok, but the ink on
the black was too thin, and light comes through. You will need to darken it more(I
used black tape and it worked). Im sorry - I dont have their e mail address
handy.  I have a spare CR91/CR88 panel (gray face) which I could let go, but I
dont think it is the right one for you.  Perhaps someone on the group can give you
the URL to Rocksea - or maybe you can try <www.rocksea.com>
