Anyone can make laminated plastic dials, it's easy. I've made some. You need to have, or know someone with, a laminator.

The trouble with laminated dials is that the light does not shine through very well. A bright LED lamp in place of the original incandescent bulb helps.

Of course, silkscreened translucent plastic dials are far superior to laminated ones if you can get them.

We're lucky to have Radio Daze, really. They have made, and are making, parts available that we would not be able to have otherwise and it is apparent they are trying hard to be a good "one-stop" shop for our radio needs.

Hi Ron

I have found if you print your dial on Vellum Paper the Light will shine through.

There are different types of Vellum, I have purchased  (WHITE) # 17, #29, #36. Had good results will all. The thickness varies in the # chosen and thus amount of light allowed through.

My Source for the paper is

I have seen Vellum at Hobby stores ie AC Moore etc Not much choice though.

I should add I get best Results using my Xerox Laser Color Printer.
