Barker dial scan required

[boater sam]

Can anyone supply a scan of the Barker 88 prewar dial glass please?
Or even a good close up 'photo, the red on mine is smeared too badly to read.
If I can work out the words I could enhance it in the computer.

There is a reasonable picture here: http://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=129169&d=1472140405 but there is very little red on it, just "The Barker", "M.W" and the arc of the MW scale.

It is perfectly legible although you might find it useful to blow it up slightly and you should be able to extract the information you require.

You obviously have a variant of this one, which I think looks quite good.

Thanks Terry.
 Unfortunately that's the later model I think, seen that one before.
The prewar one has the inner long wave arc all in red and there is much less in the way of station names.
Barkers seemed to be obsessed with "88", many model all with the same number.

Perhaps if you could post the clearest copy possible we could use our collective brain power to reconstruct it based on wavelengths, number of letters and so on ...

    Good idea, I'll do that when I get back, it will be a while. I have this pix I can upload now, just realised, its the outer arc that is smudged.
I think its a 1940 Barker 88 radio.

Thank you Peter, that's the best image I have seen.
I now can clean up the red and possibly also the blue on that image.
As It is impossible to print the white I will have to do a cut and paste on the water slide and superimpose it on the original after I have carefully removed the damaged areas. Its going to be a ticklish job.

Otherwise I could print the white in another colour, say yellow, with the original red and blue. May look a bit garish and its not original but it would be better than the mess that I have now, and easier to use on a new piece of acrylic sheet rather than the original glass.

A project for a quiet day methinks.
