If no one has a 53-960 dial glass (I'd even take a broken one I can glue at this point), could someone possible take a High Resolution, clear and clean photo of the glass?  I could create a decal that will place-hold until a 53-960 parter comes available.  
Thanks![Image: https://philcoradio.com/gallery2/1953a/#Model_53-960]

I could try.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

You may want to check with this outfit. They make reproduction dials for these radios. I don't know if they have your model in stock, but with a clear photo of an original, they can make one. check with them.
