Title: DX-100 knobs and chassis
Post by: K9DXL on February 19, 2014, 01:24:35 PM
I'm in the process of getting a DX-100 back on its feet.  1.  Does anyone have a source for replacing the concentric knobs used for VFO-Crystal/Drive and Coarse/Fine loading controls?  The old plastic is brittle and splits apart.  2.  Short of taking the whole thing apart and blasting then re-plating the chassis, what's the best method for cleaning up the discolored and lacquered chassis?
Thanks, Jim

Glen Zook, K9STH makes the knobs.  Do a search for him and he can help.
