Thanks. I think it's some kind of particle board with the "leatherette" look pressed into it. I forgot I also had to install a new bulb for the dial light Icon_e_biggrin

Since the original plastic dial "glass" was so badly yellowed and cloudy (see pic), I made a new one out of a piece of 3/16" thick plexiglass. It's not convex like the original , but I made it a nice tight press fit, and positioned it far enough ahead to allow for the dial pointer to clear it. I think it looks decent.
