Radio Dial Covers & Dial Glass

2 products

Replacement radio dial covers and convex dial glass for antique and vintage radios. If the glass over your tuning dial is cracked, cloudy, yellowed or missing, a new convex glass and a fresh bezel gasket bring the dial face back.

Convex dial glass by size

Our round convex dial glass comes in standard dome sizes from 2" to 18" in diameter, with Hi-Dome versions in 3", 4", 5" and 6". Common radio sizes include 2" to 4-1/2" for table radios and 5" to 10" for larger dials. Pick your size from the size menu on the product page.

How to measure for replacement dial glass

  • Measure the bezel, not the old glass. Measure the inside diameter of the bezel opening the glass sits in.
  • Allow a little clearance. Choose the size that matches the opening or is 1/16" smaller. If you're between sizes, choose the larger one.
  • Check the dome. Compare how high the old glass rises at its center. If it's noticeably taller than a standard convex glass, choose Hi-Dome.

Seating the glass in the bezel

Many radios hold the dial glass in a metal or plastic bezel with a thin rubber gasket. Our radio dial glass gasket is sold by the foot so you can cut it to the bezel's circumference.

Dial cover FAQ

Do you sell molded plastic dial covers for specific radio models?
Not at this time. Our dial covers are round convex glass sold by diameter. Rectangular and shaped plastic covers are made for specific models.

Is the glass flat or curved?
Curved (convex). Standard convex fits most round radio dials. Hi-Dome is a taller curve.

Can I use these for clocks and gauges too?
Yes. The same convex glass is used for clock crystals, gauge lenses and thermometer covers.
