Repro dial for a Pye 808 required.
I am in need of someone to re construct a broken dial for this radio ,I have glued the bits together ,I don't have the equipment or the knowhow to do it myself, there is possibly at least two of us that needs a dial to finish the restoration ,the marks on the dial is where I had to grind the sockets off which were riveted on the dial ,the original was more like glass than perspex hence the damage, thanks Mick.

Radiodaze in the states could do this. If costs could be shared for art work then maybe not too expensive.

Not sure Joe there must have been a reason I resorted to grinding them off, it's a while since I did it . Thanks for the suggestion Bill. Mick.

I would scan the dial and repair the image. Then it could be printed onto acrylic or perspex
