Default Reproduction Ekco Dials.

Following on from the recent discussion on the subject in this thread;

https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/...ad.php?t=46199

I should like to share with you the results of my attempts at producing reproduction versions of the Ekco A22 dial. As far as I'm aware there were three different dials used for the A22;

Type-1
This dial has 'Bucharest' at the twelve o'clock position in green on MW, and 'Droitwich' at the one o'clock position in red on LW.

Type-2
A completely updated green MW legend showing the 'new' BBC regional services, and 'BBC Light' instead of 'Droitwich' at the one o'clock position in red on LW.

Export
The dial used on the export version of the A22, sporting two SW ranges and MW instead of SW, MW and LW. (I am also working an a reproduction of this dial too which is currently about 75% complete.)


The following five images are of the earlier Type-1 dial;
