Whenever I restore a valve radio I always photograph and/or scan the dial glass. I'd be very happy to share my scans with other forum members - is there a location where they can be uploaded? If not, might it be a good idea to set one up?

Seconded! Can any image editing s/w separate the colours into separate layers which can be printed sequentially?

Yes indeed, most have a "curves" function available for each primary colour, with judicious tweaking they can "suck out" anything. The Gimp is free, multi platform, very good, and a bit of a learning curve.

Unfortunately it's also called the gimp.
