Don\'t be fooled by thereasonableprice. I have these made in largequantitieswith state of theart processes and can sell a high quality item at a good price. The cost of the custom diesalone are veryhigh but this is a long term businessandbelievethat I will recoup my investmentover several years.I am very proudof my products and give a risk free full money back guarantee.You have nothingto lose by purchasing one.I havemany otherrestorationparts forthisand other Heathkit HamRadio equipment on . Check outmy \"other items\" to see more.
Installation notes: The glue is very sticky - It\'s best to clean the original plate and knock off any loose paint etc with a brush, sandpaper etc. You are only trying to get rid of any loose stuff not sand the plate down. I like to remove one of the two sheets on theback and lightly position the overlay. I like to try to line up a couple of the smaller holes. When you get it where you want it and are sure..... you can then use the palm of your hand, soft cloth etc. to press it tightly to your old panel.
NOTE: This is the black overlay. I also sell a green MahoneyKD0ILM / XV2KMMahoneys RadioGood in QRZAbout Mahoneys RadioThis business was born from the frustration of hitting a dead endwhen restoring some of my Heathkit radios, It is one thing to needa resistor, set of feet, capacitors, paint, tubes etc. but quite another when youneed a panel or some other parts that may be only available used at a Hamfestor . There are other hobbyists who provide a good service to us Heathkitfans with their items and I try not to sell the same types of items. It is a smallmarket and we are lucky that there are several people who offer items.
I felt that I could manufacture some of these things at a reasonable priceif I was willing to make the investment and look to the long term.
It has taken me a long time to perfectmy processes and much trial and errorbut I am now satisfied with my products. Keep looking here for new products.
Remember that I back my products 100% and if you have anyproblemsI willbe there to take care of you.Kevin
