Glad to help. Icon_smile

I used #4-40 x 1/4" 'pan head' machine screws (and star washer and nut) to replace the dial rivets. I ordered them from boltdepot.com - not sure if local hardware stores would carry something that small.

The replacement dial came from RadioDaze. I compared the overall appearance to the original in this thread:

As for passing enough light, here are a couple pictures of that dial in operation:

Dan Double conversion is using two IF converters instead of one. This improves the image response. morzh — 07:15 PM
