I wish I knew of someone reproducing the foil dials, I know of a Rogers "Pee wee" set like that Philco that has the same problem. Radio Daze was hinting that they might make some foil dials so you may check with them. They are sort of strange, it's like a heavy aluminum foil that was pressed to give a faux medallion relief effect, in the case of the Rogers I saw the background was painted black. It's too bad that they didn't make them like the brass and aluminum serial number plates, then you could clean them up and repaint them.
