Just in case anybody is wondering about the quality of the RadioDaze Philco 90 dial, here are pictures of the one I recently ordered to replace a cracked original.

Original

Reproduction

I'd say overall it's a pretty good match. I was worried the dial color would be quite a bit more 'off' - other reproduction dials I've seen have had odd coloring. The printing is also pretty decent - the number font isn't quite 100% - but other repro dials I've purchased are clearly more pixelated (a much bigger problem).


Anyway, thank you RadioDaze for making a good reproduction dial.  Icon_thumbup
