Have you cleaned the mask and dial? Dial should NOT be cleaned w/water but with mineral spirits. Water will remove print. If it still isn't bright enough you could use a led lamp.

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!

The mask looks like something that might shatter if I wasn't careful. The link above shows a shadowmeter mask. Is that the same thing as for the dial pointer?

Probably would just clean it w/oms too.

Odorless mineral spirits

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Is that a painting type product or something else?

Yes it is. Usually in paint dept. Like this.
