Really great stuff Robert... your perserverance is inspirational.
I found the use of colour swatches most interesting as I too have created dials. See BVWS Bulletin 2009 Autumn. Some were only black or pretty basic colours that were easy to match by eye. Of course how much have the colours changed with time but you can only match to what you have.
For a silk screened dial for an HMV 650 / 655 I was in the hands of the screener and it was up to him to do the best he could to an original but damaged dial. Actually the result he achieved is amazingly close to my eyes, so well done to him.
Now a plug I still have a few dials left from the small quantity I had made (CNC glass + screening) so if anyone wants one please get in touch. When they have gone there will be no more.
I will try to add a pic of the dial... (I normally go the PhotoBucket route)
Wow! that was so easy... great stuff, well done Admin
cheers Gary
