Big, Bad*s*, and ugly 660L
#7

Popped off the dial to see how I could get it cleaner. Gave it a good scrubbing w/OMS and a lot of dirt came off but Ron was right in that the dial material has darken over the years. It also has something on it that doesn't particularly want to come very easily. It maybe some sort of mold or something. It leaves the dial spotty looking on an angle and feels rough. Can scrape with my fingernail but I don't want to remove the graphics in the process. Straight on it looks ok so I'll leave it. Need to take good care of this dial, don't think any repros are available! Gallery sez less than 1000 660/665L's where sold. Can't imagine why. Only seen 1 other on the web.
Under the chassis it originally had a heavy perforated cardboard cover, mine is missing.Kinda handy it missing as it gives you a pretty non obstructed access to the chassis innards just by moving the cabinet away from the wall. Chassis looks pretty unmolested but I can fix that!!!!! Looks like it was around when the house was being renovated back in '13-14 (really dusty inside).
Onward to the ohm meter!!!
