Finally got around to replacing my old dial with a new radiodaze dial and also updated the original lamps with white leds. I am happy with the end result. The most time consuming part was replacing the old black plastic tape on both left and right edges so that it shrouded and channeled the light to the glass while blocking any extraneous light reflections. I used friction tape for this purpose due to its good sticking properties. Here's a pic before the front panel went back on.
