Philco 41-260
#1

How hard is it going to be to find a nice dial bezel like this one, without buying the whole radio?  I don't suppose anyone is making new ones?  Not a rare radio, just good sentimental ties....

Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift

 Probably the best way to replace one of those that's warped, shrunk, and cracked, is to make a replacement out of wood.  I seem to recall that someone on here did that with a table set that had the same sort of escutcheon. Alternatively one could make one out of sheet plastic stock, such as ABS plastic, by cutting out the pieces and gluing them together. On my 42-327 cabinet, with a similar dial placement, the escutcheon was made out of wood from the factory, and painted black, and it looks very similar to that plastic one.

Those are details better left to the ones who know. Maybe you disconnected the wrong end of the wire.RodB — 06:22 PM
