Hi, Bill. I noticed your thread, and it reminded me of the last radio I restored, an RCA 56X5.  https://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=22501  I bought a new dial glass for it and a set of decals. In the end, I used the new dial glass but opted to just leave the original decals alone, otherwise I would have just had to completely strip and re-do the cabinet, including the faux finish on parts of the front. Your decals look a whole lot better than mine do. I agree with others. Sometimes it is just best to leave well enough alone.
