In the interim I had also cut new glass for the dial window to replace the broken one.
I've read references to both plastic and glass being used for the dial window. It looks like mine had some extra "fingers" soldered on to hold thicker glass than what was originally in it. Don't know the history of that modification, but apparently it was for standard 1/8 inch window glass, because that is what fit.
Does anyone know if the brass trim around the dial window is solid brass? It's not magnetic, so I think it is. There's a bit of pitting on the bottom near the tuner knob..probably from fingers touching it. I'm wondering how much polishing it can take. I don't want to polish brass plating off if that's all there is.
