Title: Hammarlund HQ-180 Front Panel Question
Post by: WA2SQQ on March 10, 2021, 10:59:40 PM
Decided to clean up my 180’s front panel. I had a few spots that I removed using a 50-50 solution of isopropyl alcohol and water. I immediately noticed that the panel looked a bit more shiny, not too surprised since I’m the original owner. Than I started wondering if Hammarlund possibly had some sort of coating, perhaps anti glare, that I managed to remove.I’m seeing a similar sheen around the main tuning dial where fingers would rub. Any thoughts?
