Default Bush DAC90 dial glass.

This DAC90 tuning scale glass has been in the shop for at least forty years.
The cabinet of the set it belonged to met up with a accident, smashed up into little pieces and beyond repair. The chassis just disappeared, possibly given away to another collector.
Yesterday, I decided to see if anything could be done with the tuning scale. As luck has it there is an aerosol can of Lada cream car paint and the colour almost matches the colour on the Bush dial glass.

Bought the Lada aerosol from Halfords two years ago.
