Thread: Dial feet

  1. #1

    Dial feet

    Hi I've got a couple of old dials with missing feet. I understand that new ones can be soldered/epoxied on, I could use double sided tape but would prefer a more permanent solution- can anyone recommend someone who does this ?
    Thanks in advance

    You can get specific fixing stickers.

    As I understand it, soldering is tricky as the heat can damage the dial, epoxy might work I guess.
    Dial restoration companies might know more.

    Edit. Google found this:

    You could try Dagaz dial dots, they've worked well for me in the past.

    Either resistance weld them on and take a maybe 5-10% risk of the dial marking, or laser weld them without any risk.

    Glue doesn't work and dial adhesive pads are the worst thing going and not a good repair.
