Richard,
The dial was very dirty, so I had to do something.
Having heard that Philco dial paint comes off with water, I was nervous to say the least. I took a Q tip with water on it and tested it on the part number so as not to disturb the main dial. The water did not remove the ink. I used water on a soft cloth and another Q tip to tackle the worst spots.
I can tell you from past experience the 1937 sets had the water sensitive dials. My 37-610 had that problem.
