Thanks, Arran. I'll look for that when I am out next time to see what is available in my area.
Paul, what I lucked out on with this Zenith is that dial ring and badge are plastic and also the printing is color fast enough to be cleaned with the Lysol wipes that I have. I started out cautiously and then cleaned more firmly once I saw that the printing was not being affected. Took a lot of grunge off that dial ring and badge! Now the metal rings on the Bakelite Zeniths, beware! The printing WILL smudge off. Also, the always present rust on the ones I have and find around here.

No matter where you go, there you are.
