Does any one know where I can find replacement Black and Gold dial faces similar to the ones that Ingraham used on their named series (Initial, Exotic,Overture....) Got an Ingraham Exotic that was missing the original dial...:confused:

I have seen some on eBay from time to time, but I think they were repros. Can't remember the seller or I would PM you. EBay may still be the best bet for old ones, unless someone on the MB has a stash. The Dial House may be able to make one for you, and there may be other sources. Check out the Clock Suppliers sticky in the Clock Repair forum.

Are you sure the dial is not original (or is it missing altogether)? The Exotic did not only come with a black dial.

YEs, there was someone that had the repro dials on Ebay but he has not listed for awhile. The clock when I got it had a newer larger dial and bezel that just did not look right. I do have another Ingraham bezel and dial pan that is a perfect fit, has had extra winding holes drilled over the years so it is perfect for redoing. I have another one of the Ingraham named clocks with the black dial and I like the look of the black and gold dial on it....LOL it is different! I will keep searching...I am sure EVENTUALLY I will find one

Sounds like a plan. I admit I like the look of the black dial as well. It's different to say the least. Happy hunting - that's part of the fun.

Of course if I could Find a metalic gold ink cartridge for my printer/scanner, I could make my own up..................

clockhoarder,

Try a local company that refills ink cartridges. The re-loaders here carry a gold paper that you print the black using an image that drops out the numerals. They make a very nice looking dial.

Now that makes more sense than my approach of trying to find gold printer cartridges!
