Next case - Odd Philco 42-720 Tropic
#79

With many thanks and my most sincere appreciation to Greg (NostalgiaRadioTime), I now have a great-looking, reflocked dial back plate.

Here it is turned on, with the 5Y3GT removed since the speaker is disconnected:

The piece of celluloid behind the four horizontal holes on the right end of the back plate was missing when I acquired the set. I decided to just print something out to use in its place:

...and here is a close-up of it, installed on the back plate:

I used the Alternate Gothic No. 2 font which also matches the font used on 1939-1942 Philco call letter tabs. The font probably could have been a size larger, but it will do nicely, I think.

I still have to restring the cord that controls the placement of the bulb behind here, which indicates the proper band selected. The tuning dial cord is already restrung; I only need to reattach the pointer.
