Hi All,
I'm a new addition to the group...my wife bought me an 41-610 that I'm restoring and while its going OK I've got a question on a missing part...
The dial pointer is gone! I need to restring the dial but without the pointer I'm stuck. I can make a new one...if I knew what it looked like! Would someone be able to post a picture of what the original dial pointer looked like?
I guess even better would be if someone had one I could buy...would keep the set a bit more authentic...but I think I can fabricate one.
I've restored quite a few older ham radio sets...mostly Heathkits and Hammerlund gear...as well as a pile of tube audio equipment. This is my first console radio and its a project. Cosmetically the unit is in fine shape...electrically it is (was) a mess. I've repaired all the rubber wiring problems...I used some NOS cloth wire I had so it looks amazing! I've managed to get the pushbutton assembly working again. The unit has the record player installed I guess making it a 41-610P but the record player is in rough shape. I think I can get it to look new but maybe not working.
Anyway...any help with the dial pointer would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Geoff
