Hello!
I have an AGA 1641. And this a very embarassing thing to ask for..
Since this was the first radio I was thinking of cleaning, I made the beginner's MAJOR mistake!
I tried to wipe the dial clean with a moist cloth...
And as YOU all know, and I didn't know, all of the print disappeared.. I shed a few tears, and decided that I wouldn't do any restoration for a while.. ;o)

Well, My question is, with the above mentioned as background: Is there anyone out there, that has the possibility to scan a dial and sell the scanned image to me, so I can make a new one?

I am having thought that I can use a water-decal, you know, they are used on e.g. airplane models, and similar.. You put it in water, and slide in onto the surface, and when dry, it is finished!
I have heard that there are such decal foils available to use with ink-jet printers, and if I could get a scanned image of the dial, I might make a new scale in glass or acrylic plastic..
I think it is best to scan it mirrored, I mean, putting the dial with the text side (inside)  downwards, because otherwise there would be a couple of millimetres between the text and the scanner..

Is there anyone that could help me with this?

Thanks for reading this!
Kind regards

Unfortunately, I did not recognize the post in April 2006.
Well I have an AGA 1641 with the curious mixer tube 6SJ8G. Within the next time I will make a copy of the dial glass. But first I have to look for a possibility for A3 scanning at my location.

Kind regards,

Dietmar Rudolph
