[HATS] Fixing scratched LCD Displays

[Ed Manuel (N5EM)]

Here's a tip from the FT817 E-group.  Nice to know.

-----------------

The radio displays of recent radios are pretty tough, including the 
FT817.  When I first bought my FT-50RD HT, before I had a case for it and 
before I taped the display, I dropped it on cement getting out of a 
car.  The display was scratched :(

This really works.  A pure silk tie.  Pure silk is supposedly more abrasive 
than steel, yet is very very fine.  It takes a while and a bit of thumb 
grease, but the scratches come out pretty nice.  It takes a while and a lot 
of rubbing in a circular motion, but it really works.  Use your old 
ties--the ones with the chili stains!
