Radio Daze Philco dial reproductions
#4

PM answered.

Some of Mark's dial scales are a bit dark. But his have the advantage of being translucent. Laminated dial scales such as the ones from RD do not let as much light through, but are better than nothing.

I've experimented with making my own scales. Like the RD scales, mine are laminated. But I try to make the color of mine as close to original as possible, rather than pale yellow. These look a lot better inside the dial window, whether the set is on or off.

Anyone can do this; all they need is a good scanner, good photo editing software, and a little patience. Icon_smile
