I have "reproduction" meters in my R-390A.  The scales are decals done from
real R-390A meters (white on black) with a white pointer.  I took some
"Hobby Lobby" glow-in-the-dark paint and painted the pointer.  When I dim
the lights, it kind of glows in the dark for a while.  I figure that
somewhere I could get decals made with the same kind of paint.  Then for the
next step I would scavenge the elements out of dead smoke detectors and pop
it in the case.  Then the Geiger counter would pop and I would have
"authentic" meters :) :)  ***LOOK*** ***RARE*** E-PAY here I come.
