How to make a glass scale
#11

Hello, MrFixr55,
I think in your case, you can create an image file yourself from the existing glass. This can be a problem if the glass is lost, as in my case. However, if the original glass is still intact, you can do it. Remove the glass from your radio, take a photo of the existing glass in the highest possible quality. Then, use a graphics editor to correct cracks and other image errors.
In my case, I also had to correct image defects and adjust the size. In the attached photo of the finished scale, you can see that the glass is slightly wider than the sticker and has some defects. This happened because the image from the internet was 108 mm by 28 mm, whereas the actual size should have been 108 mm by 30 mm. Therefore, the final scale was only corrected on the third attempt.

On my website you will find a number of scale drawings and other graphic materials - Scales

If you want to work, lie down and sleep, and everything will pass.
