I thought I would share my atempt at recreating a dial that was in poor condition, having watched Steve Dunford's exelent YouTube videos on the subject I gave it a go! I must admit that although it is time consuming the results are very worthwhile and am very pleased with the result. This is for my Radion Elstree, printed onto a vinyl sticker and stuck onto acrilic sheet cut to the corect dimentions.
I do have some spare stickers if anyone is in need for the cost of poastage and maybe a beer .

Thanks Steve, it was with your help that I was able to recreate them. I think I spent more time deliberating over the coulours than I did redrawing the dials, its kind of dificult to know how bad they have discolured over the 80 odd years and also trying not to make them look obviously brand new. This is the Sheffield dial back on the chassis with the set playing (covered with a thin piece of glass), I am pleased that it still lights up very well.
