I know of no one reproducing Heath dial scales for the TX-1, RX-1, etc., however I have
thought of producing the scales on a CAD system then making copies of the plot output
onto clear acetae. Then affix the acetate sheet to an opaque 1 1/2 inch plastic tube cut
to length. Tubing of this size is standard and available. Producing the dial scale on a
CAD (Computer Aided Drafting) system would be time consumming because I have found the
scales are not linear!!   Another Project!!
