This restoration fell at the very last hurdle, as the celluloid dial was being eased back into place. The dial is supposed to be curved, and when this was attempted the brittle celluloid cracked down the middle. Plan A now is to glue the fragments together as best as I can, photograph it, print a colour transparency, then laminate this to produce something that will look like the original, and have the flexibility to curve into place. But first, does anyone have a better dial image, please? Even better, but unlikely, would be a celluloid dial ready curved! Thanks, Lawrence
