These are fairly common and generally don't go for much. There's one on the Bay right now with no bids whatsoever. If it goes unsold, offer the seller a "second chance" bid and part it out cheap:

Dial Glass
 

Thanks for the info; I've got one of these myself and was thinking I might make a color copy at Kinko's on some semi-translucent paper (like onionskin) and just back it up with a piece of single-strength glass. He's not too concerned with originality, only that there's something to fill the hole. Shame these don't go for too much; I see them in my radio group's aution a couple of times a year and they seldom bring more than $20-30, even in nice condition. Wonder why that is, since they're more attractive than the sets with the 'table mounted on the top.

Thanks for the info!
