I have restored two Philco chassis - a model 60 and a model 66. I cobbled together two cabinets from several old broken model 60B/66/38 cabinets I had stored in my junk pile. The restored cabinets were made from a model 60B template I made about 20 years ago. I completed the "restoration" of the cabinets about three months ago but have been unable to find escutcheons suitable for the cabinets. Any help out there?

Welcome to the Phorum!
There are several evolutions of the 60B as Ron has described on this site which include different styles of escutcheons.  You can put a posting on this phorum in the Wanted Ads and someone may have the one you are looking for.  I've seen escutcheons come up on eBay from time to time so I would keep a search open on that site.  Look for radio swap meets in your area and you may come across someone with one.
Cheers,
Bob

Dave, do you have before and after pictures of your cabinets? I for one, would like to see what you have done.
