Anyone know of a source for reproduction Radiolette dials (the square, mother of pearl looking ones) that always end up with a burn hole in them?

Didn't any of them suggest someone else ? It just so happens that in my latest HRS of SEQ magazine there is one more who specialises in " dial covers " Richard Boyd at - richardandwend.bigpond.com failing that I am investigating in reproducing my own damaged ones. Check out http://www.decalpaper.com/

All - received my dial window yesterday frmo Richard Boyd. Looks great, and much better than the flat piece of glass someone had put there before.

Still on the lookout for a replacement dial....any more suggestions greatly appreciated!
