Anyone can make laminated plastic dials, it's easy. I've made some. You need to have, or know someone with, a laminator.
The trouble with laminated dials is that the light does not shine through very well. A bright LED lamp in place of the original incandescent bulb helps.
Of course, silkscreened translucent plastic dials are far superior to laminated ones if you can get them.
We're lucky to have Radio Daze, really. They have made, and are making, parts available that we would not be able to have otherwise and it is apparent they are trying hard to be a good "one-stop" shop for our radio needs.
