dial restoration
I have several enamel dials that need restoring. I use International Dial for metal dials and have had good service from them, but they don't retore enamel dials. I have used Alan Heyward in Austraila, but he is no longer in business. Any reference would be appreiated. Thanks, Joe cook2222@bellsouth.net

Hi Joseph, Good luck with this. We have been hunting for someone to take on this challenge. I have tried it and it is very labor intensive.

Chris Abell had someone repair the enamel dial on my Ed. Koehn minute repeater. It was an expensive and slow repair, but the results were very good. Here is the dial before repairs.

I don't know who Chris used. It wasn't Allen Heywood. I am sorry to hear that he has retired. He repaired some enameled cases for me. If you go to his website, he has posted many links to other repairers, some of whom appear to repair dials. Heywood

I haven't tried this repairer, but will the next time I need enamel repairs. Polizzotto
