Dial scales for radio projects
|
|
|
|
I bought some dial scales on ebay for 5 bucks. I
thought they were metal, but they turned out to be plastic.
The quality of the printing was poor and they were scratched and
dirty. (They looked a lot better on ebay than they did
in my hands). I cleaned one up with a photo editing
program. All you need do is print them out and cut out the pictures. |

Note: The actual dial scale is three
inches across at the bottom. If you print them this size the
holes will match with most variable
capacitors. Rather than resizing the actual image, resize the
images from your "print" menu as they are being printed.
When
they are the
desired size, print the final image on photo paper. If the
ink isn't waterproof, spray the page with a flat clear coat.
If you're not in the U.S.A. they will say PRINTED IN <name
of your country> at the bottom when you print them out. |
