Scan it, clean up the scan with software such as Paintshop Pro, and print a new one.

Hi Ian, yes I maybe able to that. The problem is its firmly bonded on there from the water damage and may only come off in bits. A Bit of heat might do it or perhaps I can get a blade under it.
Thank you ,pete

Use steam, e.g from a kettle

A Repro for each dial plate you can get from me Smile
I am sure here is someone in your forum who did already purchase from us a repro.
Can I attach here in html or as link a small sample of a repro dial ( Telefunken Opus US Version ) Is that allowed here ?
Wish you all a nice day

Regards Marcel Paul

You can advertise your site if it is relevant to vintage radio or related subjects. Smile

Pete: seems your image links are no longer valid. Did you move those photos?

I remember them disappearing soon after the comment was posted. Some sites don't like hot-linking of images. I'm not sure of what Photobucket's policies are on this.

Photobucket has become a pain to use. These days I tend to use Imgur for such links.

And while we're on it, how goes the DIY upload function?

Simple answer is that it still doesn't work. I haven't touched it for some time due to other issues that needed fixing and I'm still working on a diagnosis and fix for the intermittent 500 errors. To be honest I am not expecting to see file uploading for a while.
