When I got this set the phenolic dial was smashed, see attached pic, anyway I ordered a great reproduction from Radiodaze, After I installed the new dial I do not see a light bar across the dial to pinpoint what frequency you are on, Here is a link to a video on youtube to what I am talking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MabzaMx9Lkc, I went onto radiodaze site and they show a shadowmask for a philco 89 and 60B but none for a 112B? Has anyone ever made one themselves? where do you buy the yellow Phenolic? Now I wish I wouldn't have thrown away the busted up original dial!
any help would be appreciated!
The mask is a simple enough. I actually planned to have my 112 chassis back out of the radio this weekend so I'll try to get a better picture and some measurements.
BTW - you would either have a model 112 or a 112X - there's no such beast as a 112B AFAIK. The 'B' letter would indicate a baby grand (table top) version -but only starting with 1932 models.

Thanks for the reply Nathan! Pics and measurements would be appreciated! Mine is a Canadian model maybe it is just a 112? It is the console model with the slanted speaker board.
Nathan, could you do me a huge favor if you take pics? Could you also take a shot of the mount that holds the mask? A side shot and one from the front? Someone bent the crap out of mine and the plates that hold the mask rub against my new dial! Scared to bend this bracket too much as afraid it will break! Then I'm hooped!
