The filters are actually glass and don't seem to deteriorate, but they do get dirty. I have taken apart and cleaned bathtub instrument clusters with fair results--I always paint the inside of clusters in brilliant gloss white to increase internal reflection. A little bit of very judicious flicking with a dry paint brush will remove some of the dead outer surface of the glow in the dark numbers, and the needles are easily painted with that paint the Eric mentioned. In good shape they sure do look cool with the green numbers against a background of purple glow.
