Trim on 42-124 - Chris Drumma - 12-03-2006

Does anybody know if that was painted veneer or bakelite? I have one that is missing all of the trim on the bottom of the the radio. On that note also does anybody reproduce the bakelite estcheons around the dial scale. I have a couple of radios that need replacement.
thanks
Chris

The dial bezel is a plastic called Tennite. It is an early plastic that warps over time. Try Larry.

Thanks guys I e-mailed him. Hopefully he can help. I also need the covering around the dial scale on a couple of sets.
thanks

Chris - is that the set you bought or traded from me some time back? That bottom trim is wood. Very thin, but thicker than veneer. Had I kept the set, I was going to go to Lowe's and find the thinnest Weyerhauser (sp?) Choicewood I could find, cut to size, apply and heavily tone it extra dark walnut or Van Dyke brown, which would have replicated the original trim quite well.

Sorry Chris - thought you meant the dial surround, not the bottom of the cabinet trim.

Ron,
Yes that is the set. I have recapped it and am ready to try it. I thought that it was tennite and am glad it is wood. Will have to check out lowes for the wood.

Chuck,
No problem I also need the tennite dial surround. I have two sets that have badly damaged ones. I e-mailed larry but no response yet

thanks guys,
Chris
