In addition to the usual dust a couple of tiny bugs decided to pupate on the back of the dial scale of my American Bosch 670C. I'd like to clean it. The problem is that the outer tuning pointer shaft has a gear on the back and a "second hand" pointer on the front that prevent me from separating the scale from the metal back panel.

Does anybody know how to safely remove the "second hand" from the shaft? It looks like it's just a friction fit. I assume the notches on either side of the hole allow it to bend a tad.

Is it safe to clean the back of the dial glass, the side the scale is painted on? If so with what? I hope they didn't buy their ink/paint from the same place Philco did. Icon_biggrin

Thanks,
Greg
