Hi,

I'm restoring a 41-245 ( http://radioatticarchives.com/images/p/P...chbaur.jpg ). This model has a tenite escutcheon with a glass dial attached using metal clips. When I got it the tenite surround was badly warped, but using a heat gun and gentle persuasion, I've succeeded in getting it acceptably straight. Overall it's in very nice shape. My problem now is re-attaching the dial glass to the escutcheon. This was originally done with metal spring clips but these are brittle and and most disintegrated during removal. Any ideas?

Seems crazy to be stumped on this, but everything else on this radio is done, including the electrical restoration. I've been pondering this now for over a week, hoping that inspiration would come. Well it hasn't so I'm looking to others for ideas!

Thanks,
Paul
