  To make this 116 tombstone that i'm restoring  as nice as can be I think I should get a new dial reason being is that light from bulb is barely seen though the dial pointer hole that's on the plastic band switch plate. The lettering is good on dial but cant clean that side because it will remove the lettering, cleaning back side did not do any good. I want the light to show thru the dial so you can see the little arrow pointer. Any cures to salvage dial or bite the bullet and get new dial?
