Philco 38-2 Automatic Tuning
#17

Hi dconant, have you received your new dial from Radio Daze yet? I’m curious to know how it looks compared to the original. I have a 37-116 that I recently finished after having it for 11 years. My original dial was cracked so I ordered a new one from them back then but I’m a little disappointed with it as it seems to be darker or more opaque than the original. I have a brighter LED dial light behind it but it’s hard to see the numbers on the dial, maybe it’s my 73 year old eyes! I’m wondering if in the 11 years since I purchased my replacement dial they changed the formula of the dial material and it is now easier to read.
