Does anyone know a good way to straighten a warped celluloid dial scale?
This one is off an EKCO SW 86 ( NZ import ) and the worst spot is about 1 cm above flat.

Celluliod is brittle & chemically unstable. If there is a way of replacing it, that would be a better option.

There were some guys in the HRSA (Australia) making replacements for some radiio's.
