Re: Ultra 121 dial.
The various datasheets above have pictures but not terribly clear and no indication as to the order of the wavebands, though it's a fair bet MW is the middle one! Logically LW (with few stations) would be the inner, but.....
A clip from the manufacturer's sheet front page is attached.

Re: Ultra 121 dial.
Hi Jim,
Don't know where my 121 is but it's in poor condition so I stored it years ago. Pretty certain the dial is printed on the glass similar to the Philips sets. The dial is driven through bowden cables. The dial glass is edge lit. These are rare sets but I have seen them in good condition. Sorry I can't be of more help until I remember where the ULTRA might be stored. Cheers Mike T

Re: Ultra 121 dial.
Thanks Mike, looks like the glass is about 5mm with a polished edge. I could scan a pic of the dial and then put it onto transfer paper, but its getting hold of a pic is the thing.

Re: Ultra 121 dial.
I'm pleased so far but there's quite a way to go yet. A big thanks to David, Hamishboxer, for the help with the dial. I will keep you posted.

Re: Ultra 121 dial.
I'm not sure how much use this is, but it's in my 1937 wholesale catalogue.

Re: Ultra 121 dial.
Just seen the post and was going to offer the scan again!
They are a great set and the one i restored certainly went well.
