Finished up this set today after the repro dial arrived from Radio Daze. I tried ordering one from Mark Oppat, but he informed me he was out of them and having some difficulty in obtaining the correct color phenolic material to print them on. It could be several months until he has more in stock.

Here's how it looked before I started (a Transitone sits on top of it):
   

The cabinet wasn't stripped, but the original finish was enhanced with several coats of Minwax. I got lucky in that the photo finish was in fairly decent shape.

Here are the "After" pics:
