sw-3 paper dial replacements available for the CCW "b" dial, price is RIGHT

I have a new old stock type B national velvet vernier dial which I disassembled to photo copy, to replace some of my tuners which have marked up / wrinkled / or stained dials. This dial image is my favorite as it is the counter clockwise "B" dial that increases its numbers as the knob is rotated to the right. I.E. as the receiver is tuned to higher frequencies [ the main capacitor rotates to lower capacity values ], the dial numbers increase in value.
The image goes from 0 to 190 on the dial. The copies are about 4" in diameter and you trim the paper to size add spray glue to replace your dial. The vernier dial needs to be removed from the cabinet and disassembled to replace the dial image. This requires a bit of skill so that the spring loaded assembly does not fly 'apart' when it is dismantled.
If you would like one, please send me a self addressed envelope that has a minimum dimension of 4 inches wide so the copy wont be folded and use 2 postage stamps to cover the weight as Ill be placing shirt cardboard inside to avoid creases.
I hope this may assist any other SW-3 owners, as I just finished my second ACSW3.
Enjoy W
