Heath Mohawk and Apache

[Gerald C. Lemay]

I tried making a new dial drum for a Heath MR-1 receiver a short time ago. I
was able to make new artwork by scanning the drum for each band and making a
transparency using Visio 2000 professional. I'm still looking for an
affordable source of tubing of the correct diameter and transparency. I
found some but it's pretty expensive. Since the dial drum is not an
emergency project right now, I'll keep looking.

Hi,

Anyone out there have suggestions for repair of cracks in the dial drums?
Has a replacement been made or considered? I have an excellent Apache and a
well used Mohawk, both suffering from extensive cracks in their dial drums
at the ends.

I was considering going to the local firm that handles a wide variety of
plastics, and see if I can obtain the correct size, color and transparency.
If the stock was available, I would see if I could make the artwork for the
drum, transfer it to a decal, and see what I end up with.

I would welcome any thoughts or discussion...

Thanks and 73,
Michael
