The early production dials were dark cranberry colored, and tough to see through. I used brighter 6V bulbs in my 263, but you have to be careful that you do not burn holes in the two light diffusers that are in front of each bulb. The later dials were a light amber color. If your dial is really a light yellow/tan, it may be a rock-sea replacement. These tend to be way too light.
I would use the dark red dial if your 128 dial is one of these replacements. Or check with Mark Oppat at oldradioparts.net for a good replacement for the light amber dial. I have used his dials for several of my resto jobs and they are very satisfactory.
