the molds that made those dials...(they <I>are</I> manufacturable, as at least
Heathkit made them....).....and if whoever has them would make a small run of

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....<BR></BODY></HTML>
