Ron -

No, it's not HARD at all, IF you have a way to cut smooth 'donuts' out of Plexiglas AND are willing to make silk screens and able to screen the Plexiglas well enough to suit! A screen that would be fine for a T-shirt probably wouldn't be 'clean' enough at the 18" viewing distance to suit most Drake owners.

All for an essentially unknown volume of sales.

I haven't given up!

I would think someone could manufacture dials out of plexiglass and proper labeling? If Drake could make them I am sure they could be reverse engineered.

    I've been trying to arrange for some dial replacements, but having
    difficulties.  Not certain yet if they will be available or not.
     Will post when/if they are!

    I've never checked, but I believe the dials are the same on both
    units.  The PTOs are identical, so no reason to think they would
    be different.

    The metal levers are just a convenience.  The gearing can be
    'disconnected' by reaching in with a small tool to disengage each
    idler gear by pressing on it's shaft.  The levers just make it a
    lot easier, especially in the unit!

        I have a R-4C tht is is need of a "kHz dial" (the one that
        goes 0-90").

        Any ideas?

        Also, are the dials in a T-4XC the same and be substituted?

        Also, will the dials work regardless if there is one or two
        metal levers that are use to adjust the dials to the correct
        frequency?

        Thanks
