How do I remove the melted shadow meter mask that dripped onto the tuning dial of my 16B?
I know that I have seen it mentioned before on the phorum. I am just worried about breaking the dial. Do I just try to pick it off?
Should I warm it up a little first? This radio must have sat for a long time with the dial fully closed and the mask melted and dripped down in globs keeping the dial from turning. At first I thought the dial string was too loose and then I pushed the dial in enough while turning to get by the drips.
I just want to make it more presentable in case it goes to the next swap meet in NH.
Thanks,
Henry
