In the course of (not) carefully (enough) cleaning a recently acquired
Hallicrafters SX110, I made the big mistake of placing the bandspread
dial glass under some lightly running water, and watched in horror as
all the dial's white lettering collected in a puddle in the sink!

I am now faced with the problem of re-creating the white lettering on
the glass, and am looking for suggestions from folks in this group.
Here is what I have tried so far, with little success.

Fortunately I had taken some decent photographs of the receiver before
I cleaned it. One of the photographs, cropped to the dial, is here:

I took this, and photoshopped it to remove perspective, removed the red
tuning bar, and fixed to black and white. The result is here:

Then I put that image into Powerpoint and, by hand, drew lines and tick
marks and lettering on top of the image, lining everything up
carefully. Finally I removed the original image, leaving just the
artwork, which I can then print in any colour I want.

I was expecting to be able to find clear transparent 8x11 sheets of
sticky Avery labels, but the only transparent labels I could find were
matte. I experimented printing onto those, but the results are poor,
and certainly not see-through on glass. Even worse, printing in "white"
on the paper results in a very faint image indeed, essentially useless.

Am I approaching this the wrong way? Is there a better method for
recreating the dial lettering?

(I realise that there are people advertising replacement dials for the
SX110, but they tend to cost almost as much as I paid for the receiver
itself, so wanted to see if I could do it myself.)

Many thanks in advance if you have any suggestions for me.
