[TenTec] TT Orange ball

[Bwana Bob]

Wouldn't a drop of Testor's orange model paint, applied with a Q-tip work?

When I bought my Paragon, the dot was missing. I wrote to Ten Tec and 
they sent me a dot.  The paper dots fade in time, so I recently replaced 
it with a dot cut from some orange marking tape that I have. It is a 
good color match and brighter than the original.  Of course the ultimate 
is using an LED for the dot, as TT did with the new Argonaut, but I'm 
not going to drill the panels in my gear.
