Hi,
 I purchased an early model  Philco 70 project which has a bakelite as opposed to metal escutcheon. Were bakelite escutcheons original on some models? It appears the only thing ever to this chassis was that the filter caps were replaced in the distant past. I would not think it was a repro.   Some years ago I did purchase a bakelite escutcheon for an 80 Jr at a swap meet and assumed it was a repro now I wonder.
                                        Thanks,
