What is your plan with the faded dial glass printing?

Well, right now I have no plan.

In the last YouTube restore video by Buzz he sent a dial glass off to RadioDaze and they did a pretty nice job redoing the original glass:

Acked, and so noted. I may follow that same plan, but I also have another Tropic needing a dial glass (42-720EZ). That glass is printed on the front and back. I seem to recall that someone in one of the Facebook antique radio groups has found someone that can make repro dials, and as I recall, they can do the front/back dials as well as the dials that are printed only on the back as with this 40-715. I will see if I can find out more about this.

I wonder if Radio Daze is willing to make one-off repro dials? I doubt that they would ever sell very many 40-715 or 42-720 dials. But if they have the artwork, they can always make another one...
