Repro Dials.

[Robert Darwent]

Ah ha! Penny dropped! Thank you again.

You're most welcome again Rob.

If you recall I have a second BP10 (one of my favourite Bush radios - sheer elegance in its design I believe!) and it too has a black letter dial.

I'm sure you will have told me at the time, but to be honest I can't recall you mentioning a second BP10 that you had. In any case, I didn't think you needed a dial replacement for the set I sold you, rather I assumed you'd picked another set up in the mean time.

Regarding making a repro dial. I found I could clean all traces of the original dial from the semi-circular plastic using Brasso wadding, if you look at the image of the badly erased dial it was beyond saving anyhow.

I then fixed the replacement paper/film dial inside which obviously gave it the correct shape and protected it at the same time. The end result appears quite original, I will add an image of the set later.

Regards
