Radio Daze dials
#30

 With regard to the 40-180 dial and the two reproductions, did you check the part number on the corner of the dial? If they are all the same part number I am very surprised that Radio Daze would put out a reproduction dial that is as far off as that. I bought a reproduction dial for a 42-327 a few years ago, probably close to 10 years ago by now, and the graphic details were spot on. The 42-327 dials back then were screen printed by an outside firm at the time, which meant that screens had to be made for each colour applied to the dial, so if there were any errors the contracting company would have to correct them and make a new screen.
  From what I understand Radio Daze now makes the dials in house and on demand, with some sort of new printing process directly on the glass, which is why they could repro almost one off things like that Motorolla dial. Also they can correct any errors much more easily now, and are usually pretty good about doing so once they are pointed out to them. I have no explanation about that model 60 dial, but again it may be a matter or the part numbers, maybe there was an earlier version without the wave motifs?
Regards
Arran
