Could someone post a pic of a non "blackout" compared to a blackout?

I don't think they will return the old dial. I had my DJ serviced in the dial changed in 1993 (from silver to black). They returned the original dial. When i had it serviced in again 1998 and the dial changed (from black to blue) they said they no longer return the old dials.

i don't know if that is still the case?
