Hello, I haven’t been on here in a while since I have restored all of my home radios, but I now have a 1941 Packard equipped with a Philco P1935 Color-Tone radio. My question is what material should be used for the plastic tri-colored disk that is located on the tone knob. For those that might not know what I’m referring to the accessory brochure describes it as; “New, different and typically Packard is the synchronized “Color-Tone” lighting of the radio control dial. Blue, Ambe or Red lights flood the radio dial, each blending into the other in a rainbow range of color as the tone control of the radio is changed to accentuate the perfect tone qualities of the broadcast.” The original color wheel is present but is shrunken and distorted. Any ideas on how to reproduce it works be much appreciated.
