[Heath] heathkit parts

[Guy Giacopuzzi]

And....somewhere in the world are the molds that made those 
dials...(they /are/ manufacturable, as at least Heathkit made 
them....).....and if whoever has them would make a small run of 500 or 
so, he'd have quite a business...for what it's worth, there was a fellow 
in North Carolina who started making them...I want to say about 15 years 
ago...I bought a couple, but his quality was poor and they didn't work 
well....
