Well, if they are still producing dial scales in pale yellow as they used to...well, what else can I do? I think I'd rather have a pale yellow dial at this point than a broken dial with half of the numbers rubbed off.

Yes, the tuning condenser is a bit loose on mine as well. I will have to take the speaker loose to get to one of the mounting screws for the multi-section electrolytic can, which I intend to restuff with new electrolytics rather than have new ones hanging underneath as they currently are.

This won't be an easy set to repair. I'm just glad it does not have any rubber-covered wire as it is too old for that, fortunately!
