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.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got it!

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.

oms??
#66

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?
#68

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