Greg- Thanks! 
But this Zenith has its original dial scale with a new gasket from Mark Palmquist. 
The illuminated dial looks pretty good with those warm white LED lamps, eh? Looks just like it has incandescent #44 lamps inside.
It was a busy day spent mostly on the 6-S-128, but I really wanted to finish up the chassis if I was able to do so. I'm glad that I was able to thanks to borrowing a speaker from my unrestored Philco 89B for testing purposes.
The Grunow speaker is supposed to arrive tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I'll be looking for an output transformer for the Zentih speaker I have and we shall see if the much higher field coil resistance has a negative effect on the set's performance. Right now I'm pretty pleased with the Zenith chassis, it turned out better than I expected since it has no RF amp.
