Klondike;

Thanks for the links for the dial. I may order one, although it may not hurt to try cleaning the OEM one. Q-tips and alcohol or water may work to remove the film I see on the backside of the glass. Only one of the links shows a picture of the dial, the http://www.radiodaze.com/product/13719.aspx link item looks just like the one on this radio.

Tom;

Thanks for this reference to "OUT". I will see if I can find some either on-line or in a local pet store. Anything that saves time and/or effort and works is definitely a plus.

Can anyone comment about the flocked surface behind the dial glass? Or provide a picture of their restored 40-195, 40-200 or 40-201 radio dial? I think the one in this radio is faded considerably. It is also quite dirty with dust. I brushed off some of the dust using a soft camel hair brush, but it still is dirty and faded. It looks light brown in color and has some light spots on it.
