I have a Hammarlund HQ-120-X on my bench as a restoration candidate.
Both the bandspread and the tuning dial are badly warped (from
heat?). Has anyone successfully flattened the Hammarlund dials, and
if so, how was it done? Or is there a source of replacement dials for
the 120?


I don't know about Hammarlund dials but I flattened some
Hallicrafters dials by heating them in hot water and then
pressing them between two flat surfaces. I had to cut a
hole in the middle to clear the bushing. be careful and
test an inconspicuous spot on the dial to make sure the
water doesn't dissolve the printing!
