I will upload some photos tonight.
I did not re-use that strip. I scanned one of the original station tags into my computer and after trying Photoshop (couldn't fix them up without a lot of work), I used Word to recreate the tags matching them to the scanned images (the background is a very dark Prussian blue). Then I printed them on heavy paper stock.
After cutting them to size I cut plastic covers to size from a protective plastic film that I bought to cover the LCD screen of my camera. I slipped the sandwich of these two into each position and they hold in place nicely without the metal strip. When the button is pushed the light shines from down and behind as the felt moves away and illuminates the station.
I also got new knobs from Radio Daze but the glass dial is original, just cleaned. I whitened the plastic backing behind the glass dial by washing it lightly with bleach.
