Firestone S-7398
#1

Hey Guys,... Do any of you have one of these sets or know someone who does.
I need that dial face. If I could just get a good clear closeup photo, I can make one.

If anyone can help,
Thank you,
Kenneth

I thought it reminded me of something.
I guess design ideas are all around us and do get implemented simultaneously, go figure who copied whom. Icon_lol

On a serious note,

Seems like there were several versions and all had those subtle differences in design.

Like this one on youtube:

I would go search on radio restore forums for whoever had those radios restored (I found several links) and write those folks asking for photos.

PS. I wonder who made them for the Firestsone - I am sure they were not making them themselves.
PPS. Judging by this

and this

it does look like these radios were made by Emerson, Ingraham cabinerts and the shapes and all....
