37-60 Started repair again

There's no words for the person that designed the back plate that projects the light slit on the dial. 2 hour off and on cursing spree and finally got the replacement on.  They could have made the groove that the dial lets the knob pass through about an 1/8" wider and a socket on screwdriver would have worked. Closed end wrench, had the bolt push through and fall out. Packed TP in it. Had to get my little finger up in there and hold it.  Icon_crazy Icon_evil

Was testing cleaning the dial on the radio I had bought for replacement parts. The "mineral spirits" I have leaves an oily residue. The dial was filthy, looked like it had dried grease spots on it. If you rub long enough the print will come off even with the mineral spirits (the brand I had).  70% iso alcohol is about the same, seemed more agressive.   WD contact cleaner seemed to do better.

Think I'm pretty well finished with it.
