I'm working on a 1946 Crosley 56TU, and, as you can see, the glass dial scale is a mess. Someone put scotch tape over the painted side of the scale to hold it into the cabinet. Well, naturally as the tape got old, turned yellow, and became brittle, it lifted off of the scale, taking the paint with it
So I trimmed the original tape a bit, and got it back into position, and put one big solid piece of tape over the back side to hold the missing sections in place. It still looks like h*ll, but at least all of the numbers are there again.
I thought there may be a talented member of the Phorum, with the skills and printer necessary who could restore the graphics and print it on to clear transparency paper I could affix to a new piece of lexan. It's at reduced size here for illustration. I can e-mail a full size version of the file to anyone who might be able to help. Of course I'll gladly pay you for your time and supplies.
Thanks!
