This Hamilton dial is in just about as bad a shape as you could never wish upon a dial. It was glued down to a 992e, two of the feet are missing. Just wanted to show what a little cleaning could do for a dial.

Nice job Phil! Did you use Comet bathroom cleaner?

I can't seem to find it north of 49° so I use Spray Nine.

I almost lost a piece like that little pie shaped piece above the 60.

They look pretty big in the pics but pretty small when hunting them down with a pair of tweezers.

By the way, I got the dial boxes, Thx.
