I tried to obtain a couple of these earlier in the year, they responded to me that all
dials with clear areas were sold to RadioDaze and that they would eventually be
reproducing them. They also said something along the lines that it might be awhile
before they did so since it wasn't the type of gear they specialize in.

Sure would be nice if someone could reproduce things like this dependably. First you
hear they're making them, and before you know it, they've stopped.

Larry, what shape is your spare CR-88/91 gray face window in? I have a 91 with a so-so
window I'd like to replace. Please respond back to me off the list, don't want to push
our luck with being off-topic. Thanks to all for being tolerant and good luck Rodney.
