I'm new here, and I'm looking forward to picking the minds of you experienced restorers. Here's my first question for you.
I am starting the restoration on a Philco 41-285. The faceplate is in bad shape, but I found where to get a reproduction for it. My problem is the brass Bass/Volume/Bands/Tuning strip on the escutcheon. Mine is rippled like a sine wave, dented, and otherwise ugly. Does anyone know where I can find a repro of this strip?
Your help is greatly appreciated. I spent a career in electronics, but all in digital. These old radios aren't work, they're fun, and I'd love to continue doing it.
Thanks
Tom
