Larry Bordonaro at Old-Time Replications.

If you do not have your old escutcheon, you will have to come up with the brass insert above the knobs that reads VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE, TUNING. Otherwise you can remove the old insert from your old escutcheon and install on the repro.

Larry's repro escutcheon will be better then new overall, and looks just like the originals - but without the shrinkage, cracks and breaks!

Radio Daze offers a reproduction of the 1942 brass insert, but it is made of plastic coated with some metallic finish to look like brass. I think they told me it sticks in place with some double-stick adhesive. I have never seen one, so I don't know whether it is better than nothing or better than a really beat-up original brass piece.
