Gonset G-43

[Greg Gore; WA1KBQ]

G-33 and G-43 dial glass nearly always gets broken during shipping due to  
the inadequate glass mounting hardware Gonset employed which puts stress on 
the  glass. About your only solution is to locate another receiver. My 
policy  now before tackling an in-depth restoration of something is to find  
another one to provide a suitable source for parts. Between the two of  them you 
can usually come up with enough parts to build something pretty  good.
 
Regards, Greg

I've  come into possession of a Gonset G-43 that appears to be restorable 
except for  the dial glass which is badly broken. Does anyone either (a) have 
or know of  one I can get my hands on or (b)  know of a place tjat can make 
me a new  one? No one around here is willing to tackle the job of screening 
on  glass.

Thanks,

Bob
