Refitting the Dial to a DAC90A
I've recently started to reassemble the cabinet of a DAC90A on which I'm working, and, having dismantled it for cleaning some months ago, I repositioned the dial in the aperture, when I noticed holes in the cabinet for self-tapping screws either side of the rear end of the scale. I don't recall removing any brackets, and cannot find a picture clearly showing whether or not clamps or brackets are/were used. (Should have taken pictures I know!)
Can anyone confirm if clamps were fitted, please? |

Yes, there are metal brackets that are attached with the screws that fit those holes. These hold the glass in place. Have you replaced the 2 rubber strips that fit to the top and bottom of the glass?

Re: Refitting the Dial to a DAC90A
Thanks, Rob-yes I obtained the last two new strips an eBay seller had in stock, but don't have any brackets among the screws, etc., I removed when dismantling the set. It occurred to me that two washers of suitable diameter-one each end might suffice. I have the speaker mounting brackets, which I left inside the cabinet. Possibly I could make a couple of brackets from Aluminium or tinplate if these would be better than washers.
