Today I finally received the replacement dial glass for the RCA 56X5 I have had on my workbench for months now. I installed the glass into the cabinet which I had already cleaned up as I said before. The new dial glass looks much better than the original which had some letters and numbers scarred and peeling. I tried it out on my outside antenna, and it works quite well on both bands. It's not up to the 18T or T8-18, but it is pretty good. I have to admit, my penchant for top end shortwave receivers has spoiled me. So, here is the finished product...

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
