I have aquired a cossor model 50, and begun the task of re-veneering and re-finishing the cabinet,the problem i have got is that in the past somebody has made the mistake of what looks like cleaning the scale with a cloth thus resulting in the loss of all the station names, does anybody by any chance have a spare scale or a scan of one, i know its a long shot but i have done alot to the radio already and it would be a shame to scrap it know.Thanks

How bad is the damage. Can it be scanned and repaired with a computer?
