[Boatanchors] Jefferson Travis JT-350

[parinc1]

This might seem odd, but I have found mineral spirits/turpentine  will clean off all sorts of gunk w/o touching the paint. Best to try it  on  an are that would not be seen if it does affect paint.

    Might it be possible to photograph the dials, use a graphics editor
like Gimp or Photoshop to clean the dirt from the photo and use it to
print new numbers on the old dial after cleaning it?
    I suspect that any solvent capable of taking the oil/grease off
would dissolve the lettering or even the dial material.
