I rate this item "best" - first of all, simply because you've made it available! Virtually ALL original radio-band and vernier dials from this series of GE and RCA radios are very filthy in any old set one happens to find - that was ESPECIALLY true of my RCA 15K chassis, which was unbelievably filthy! What else can one expect in a neglected eighty-year-old radio? When I removed the dial to rinse the dirt off, most of the printing on it came off, too. There was NO way I could have salvaged this old dial.

After I found that you at Radio Daze have reproductions of this dial, I was delighted to be able to buy one. I now have it - it appears to be a perfect copy of the original in every respect. I will have to find a way to rivet it to its mount, but that's an achievable goal. I hope that it is more resistant to losing its printing than the original should it ever need cleaning.

Having these dials is a huge morale boost to me, as I plan to thoroughly restore this chassis to like-new operating condition.
