This is the finest polish for plastic that I have found,
originally formulated to clean and polish the old Bakelite
telephones. Works great on Catalin, Bakelite, Plaskon, and most
plastics. Use after *rubbed
out with "Blue Magic" (see below). 7 oz aerosol
This is also an excellent final polish for wood radio cabinets.
*rubbing out with "Blue Magic" is not always
necessary, use caution when doing so on Bakelite. For more info sure read my notes on;

I'm not sure how or what this was used for but
I think it was to boost the audio level in the Sparton 301. I cannot
find any info on it even in my early, extensive original Sparton
service data of that era.
I have rebuilt it, it works fine, new audio
transformer installed inside the original shell and a good #27 tube.

Hickok Roll Chart Gear replacement roll chart gear for Hickok tube testers
Reproduction roll chart gear,
fits most Hickok tube testers. Tough, made with industrial
quality resin impregnated with fiberglass.
You will often find this gear with
missing or broken teeth. There is a good reason for that and if
you just replace the gear, you are also likely to break the new
one.
REASON: the original roll
charts on the early models were often updated to include the
ever increasing number of new tubes. When the new, longer chart
was installed, this made made the spooled chart thicker and
prone to lock up near the end of their travel. So the operator
would attempt to force movement of the chart by simple brute
force (with accompanying sore thumb) or employed the aid of a
screwdriver or other tool. This force, of course would often
result in damaging the gear.
Prognosis: the chart was
installed incorrectly (too tight) or the original
wood roll chart spools were a bit too large in diameter to
accommodate the new roll charts.
Solution: install new,
(smaller diameter) wood spools when replacing the broken gear. You
can get nice straight wood dowels at a good hardware store. Make
sure they are straight and use a lathe to drill new end holes. I
find the 1/2" diameter size works best when using the updated,
long, comprehensive updated roll charts.
Tip: you will have to
carefully drill out the small rivet that holds the gear in
place. Then use the correct size machine screw & nut to replace
the rivet if you don't have a replacement rivet.
WARNING!
after replacing the gear, if your chart does not roll
freely from end to end and you force it, the new gear is
very likely to break. NOTE: colors will vary

adaptors and savors. Too many to photo and list individually. Most
are 1 each, please contact me
