Plastic dial color
#10

Those Rock-Sea dials are junk -- way too light in color. That being said, I think that the Philco dials might have original looked something like that color, though nowhere near as light -- basically more of a tan than the orangish color we're so used to today. The reason I say this is because I had a 650RX chairside with an obviously original dial (no one makes a replacement for these with their upside down numbers) that probably was virtually never exposed to light, and it had that color. Even if all dials weren't originally that color, this one indicates that at least some of them were. Regardless, the Blais/Oppat dials look way better than the Rock-Sea/Radiodaze dials.
