Back in 2013 someone was inquiring about the clear plastic covers for the buttons on a Philco 48-482. It was mentioned that someone named David with Antique Radio Collectors could offer them.

I have been looking for sometime for my 48-482 to no avail. A year or so back I tried contacting this person mentioned but never received a reply nor could I find an Antique Radio Collectors.

Does anyone know if these are available anywhere. I tried checking RadioDaze, but it doesn't seem they make them either.

Thanks in advance for pointing me in a direction that might help.

Jim

That would be David Frush. Scroll down the page at this link for his email and other vendors of knobs.

Don't know if he is still in business or not.
Cheers,

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM
