Philco 48-1262 Dial (Item: DG-081)

1940s Vintage Philco Radio Glass

Posted by Gary Standridge on Sep 25th 2018

About 40 years ago, my toddler...now 43...accidentally ran into my inherited floor model Philco radio / phonograph while playing and broke the glass.

Thankfully he wasn't injured, but the glass dial wasn't so fortunate.
I managed to recreate something on computer (an early Mac...yes, they were amazing even back then) and sandwich between two pieces of glass as a temporary (40 years?) repair, but always wanted to find an actual replacement.

Radio Daze glass dial is perfect. It arrived very well packaged and looks awesome. I can't wait to install it and see the gentle glow of the radio light as it warms up to play.

Thanks Radio Daze...well done.
