Default New Racal RA17 Finger Plates

The RA17 receivers have transparent finger plates behind the Mcs and Kcs knobs to protect the front panel. Over time they often have become cracked or crazed. I noticed that CD and DVD blank disc containers have clear discs of the right size.
A section with a straight edge has to be cut from these discs to clear the toggle switches. This can be done by placing a metal straight edge at the right place and making progressively deeper cuts with a razor blade while watching one's fingers.
The cut edge can be smoothed perfectly by rubbing it perpendicular to a sheet of fine sandpaper placed on a flat surface.
