The ink on the old Philco dials is WATER SOLUBLE ! It will wash off with even a damp cloth. Many of us, including me learn that the hard way. Only solution is to order a new dial from Radio Daze if they have one to match yours.

 I also found this on YouTube. I'm not sure if it is the one for your radio, but it is another place to look.
