I received your Bendix 526A radio dial and it looks like and fits like a factory-original part. The colors are virtually identical to the old factory dial that had cracked in several places and was virtually unusable. The shipping was prompt and the dial arrived in perfect condition due to good packaging. I am so pleased.

I had a pair of Bendix 526 radios that needed dial scales, until recently, no one carried them . To my surprise, I found them at Radio Daze and could not be happier with the quality.

A few drops of Teflon lube on each rivet, then I used a small hook awl
and rocked the tip inside the rivet head with a perhaps a foot-pound of effort to slowly coax the dial scale rivets out---just enough to get my fingernails under the rivet head (Be Gentle!) and then pop them out with my thumb tip and first finger tip.

I was expecting the replacement effort to be a real patience test,
but the rivets came out easily and I was able to re-use them for the new dial scale installation. This is an easy 30 minute project that will make your classic radio look like the day it came out of it's factory shipping box. Thank You Radio Daze !!!!
