Need dial scale glass for Bendix 526E

[Stephanie Weil]

Hi all,

Got one of these radios working. Only snag is the dial glass. The
one I have, the numbers don't match up with the stations (obviously
it's not original).

I'm hoping someone might have the correct dial lying around? The
radio in question looks like this:

I checked with Radio Daze, and while it's a design they do have, it's
listed as out of stock (they're now printing on plastic instead of
glass, etc.)

Thanks in advance!!!

Merry Xmas

I had one similar to this one (different cabinet) and the dial was done
in plastic and was falling inside the set when I got it. Definitely
original. Maybe they did 'em in both glass and plastic.

*nod* I don't care what material it's made as long as it "looks
correct". The thing on it right now looks awful.

I also own the bakelite version of this radio -- the dial is a curved
sheet of soft flexible plastic like celluloid. It has a tendency to
split across the middle part, but that doesn't bother me - the dial is
still legible. Those are held in by those fiddly "speed clips" over
the plastic posts (so that's another incentive for me NOT to mess with
it). :-)
