Philco 60 Warped Dial
#8

To follow up on flattening the warped dial.  Even when I thought I had successfully flattened the dial, it warped again after 24 hours.  For my final attempt, I totally removed the plastic, heated it almost to melting, then kept it clamped flat overnight.  That worked permanently.

But I bought a repro dial, anyway.  Here's the way I removed the old dial and attached the new one:
Cut off the rivet heads from the back of the dial.  Affix the new dial with golf grip tape (thin, double-sided adhesive).  Stick the rivets back in the holes and hold them in with a dab of epoxy putty from the back side.
