Quote: "I have the dial off of a R44/ARR-5. It is a thin plastic disk with a
black background and transparent MC markings etched (?) in.

Would it be possible to make such a dial face to fit both R390A meters and
have it backlit with a LED? What would it take?

Thanks for your thoughts"

I think it is a great idea. I think that the grungy finish on the existing
meters detracts from a really nice restore. You could even put a low powered
green LED in there to give a really sharp looking replication of what those
panel meters would look like when the radium paint was fresh and in a dark
room.

Now we need to find someone who can make plastic bezels and a negative
stencil.
