I restored the radio some time ago ,but the dials were very corroded you could hardly see any markings , I took the plunge and cleaned them back to bare metal ,I see from pictures that they were black with brass/ gold printing ,this is my effort of restoring them I scratched through the paint, they wont stand up to close scrutiny but they are ok ,I used a case that had been in the loft for some thirty odd years as the speaker and power supply housing ,the front is my own design ,I haven't altered the case just made the front ,just in case I need it one day , not much chance . Also shown is the L/W coil pack I made which works very well .
