Hi:
What would you use clean the dial face of this radio (with something that is around the house)? It is very dirty andI dont want the printing to come off.
Thanks, Buzz

It its' the kind I'm thinking of with white lettering on a black background Windex or soap and water is fine, if it's on foil test a small spot on the outside corner where it can't be seen.
Regards
Arran
