Question for Nathan, or whoever has experience with this system. When the Magnetic Tuning is ON, the flood lights are on to light the preset dial. I have polished the reflector ring but the amount of light that gets through to light the station identification tags is minimal. I can see the effect when the ambient lighting is very low, but it is still dim. The light from the reflector ring has to pass through the band selector plastic, dimming it considerably. Originally, was the plastic, or whatever it is, that opaque? Probably hard to know unless you lived back then!
