Anyone have a trick for replacing  missing white dots on the Valiant knobs?

Thanks

Go buy some lollipops. After using, cut the stems to a desirable length. Spray the stems with some clear spray to keep them hard. Dab some glue on one end and slip into hole. Let set.

Rich,

I have bought some in the past from Glen and have been pleased.  He also sells some custom made cables that plug int the XTAL jack on the back for antenna relay control.  Here is his URL:

Mc Master Carr has some as well.  They are not as bright white as Glen's, but still white. 
Part number 97155A413 
Price is $3.11 for 50 pieces


The Mc Master Carr sample is on the left one of the pair shown and K9STH's is the one on the right. 

Hope that helps!

Joe, W3GMS

Ahhh, McMaster-Carr. Great place. They also are a source for 1/4" long machine screws used in Multi-Elmac cabinets. A bit over $5 for 100. I only needed 4 -- anyone want any?

I found some plastic rods used in model building at a hobby shop.  Worked great.  Cut to about 3/16" and filed the tip round.   At spot of glue and good as new.
