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...
