I repainted the inner bezel...test run... does this look like the correct color? It seems to match the inner face color, cant find a good reference for a match...anyone have a good picture, Thanks in advance, Adam

Thank you for that Dave, No they dont, but good to know. Its the paper gasket on the inside of the glass, I kind of did a cut and paste with what was left of the old one for now, Thanks again, Adam

HE is repainting the inner face , it can never look right, they were litographed, but he does have replacement parts, I made my own gasket, no one had them. Or could not be botherd selling just a gasket.....lame.
