The display window for the KY197 Com consists of two pieces of
plastic. The front piece is clear with just three labels on it. "use, standby, and comm". The back piece is of a light amber color and matches the front piece for shape and has a black mask to hide everything behind the window except the readout. Some where in the history of the radio, it has either: 1. Been cleaned with a solvent 2. Had someone try to glue the two pieces together 3. The two pieces were glued together and heat caused them to separate At any rate the radio works fine and looks good except for the internal distortion in the window. I'd like to replace that window. Being old, purchasing a new panel/faceplate would cost more than the radio is worth. Any one know where I can find the amber colored plastic. I can probably make the one out of clear and add the lettering. OTOH I probably could, using Plexiglas glue fit the two together so the distortion doesn't show. However I'm unwilling to try something that drastic without having a "back up" in case it doesn't work.
