McMurdo Silver Masterpiece VI Dial (Item: DS-A518)

McMurdo-Silver Masterpiece VI Radio Dial reproduction

Posted by Eric Talbot on Mar 7th 2017

First of all, it's remarkable that someone has taken the initiative to reproduce this fine old radio receiver's dial - and a privilege for me, someone who's doing an IN-DEPTH (I seriously mean IN-DEPTH) restoration of this radio, to be able to buy a respectable replacement for the sadly faded original dial I had.

I give it 4 out of 5 stars - * 1 for how it perfectly fits the original framework onto which these dials are mounted - * 2 for the accurate detailing of the five bands, A through E, again an exact reproduction of the originals - * 3 for the vibrant reproduction of the three original colors used - Apple Green, Mustard Yellow and Fire-engine Red - and, * 4 for the fair price and fast delivery Radio Daze provided me.

The only reason I didn't give this item 5 stars is because the reproduction process did not ( most likely could not easily) replicate the matte finish of the original on the front of the reproduction dial. That would have been perfection.

All in all, I could not be more grateful to RadioDaze for making it possible for me to get a replacement dial for this radio, and I'm sure it'll look superb when the radio's up and running.. Kudos to RadioDaze!
