Hi all,
Is there a source for a reproduction bezel for a 10-pushbutton 42-395 console?
Thanks!
John

Welcome to the Phorum!
Not that I'm aware of. Try placing an ad in the Wanted section.

I had the idea once that maybe one could create a ten pushbutton escutcheon from grafting two eight pushbutton ones together, but haven't had an example of either one to compare. The last two Philco sets I ran across with the Tenite plastic escutcheons were both 1941 models, which are different. I think 3D printing may be the way forward for stuff like this, it's getting better all the time, I've heard of examples of gears being printed to repair the tuning mechanisms in old Japanese multiband portables, and they look almost identical to the originals.
Regards
Arran
