I did notice that one of are suppliers replacement dials lists the 80 and 81 using the same dial. I too have an 81 with an 80 dial on it.

        Well,,,,Mark Oppat says that he does NOT have thee dial with the S.W. numbers under the scale,---he has 27-5009 and B-7989 ,,and Radio Daze only has B-7989,,,soo,,,I must have B-7989 ---ALSO (my mistake on number before) ,,, So I presume that the one  ,,,that I would need  would be the B-7889,,,which I can not find,,,
