shellac on dial cord to secure dial indicator/pointer?
#2

Phil D Wrote:This question pertains to a Philco model 40-180 chassis.

I read somewhere that it is advisable to use shellac to secure the dial pointer/indicator assembly to the dial cord.

Where is a good source to buy this shellac product?

Would super-glue do the job just as well?

Thank you in advance,
Phil D

A dab of nail polish does the job. Should you need to reposition the pointer later, a drop of acetone will soften the nail polish. I buy the cheap red one at the dollar store. It is real lacquer believe it or not. The clear nail polish does a great job of mending light scratches on radios (along with a felt tip pen to hide the scratch). I would not advise using super glue.
