Does anyone know what the missing back cover on my 48-1262 console radio would have looked like? I am wondering what I should do to fabricate a replacement.

If it was made like the back on a 1946/47 Philco radio-phonograph, with the back covering the phonograph and speaker area (but not the radio chassis), it was thin black fiberboard.

Since there is a small fiberboard cover for the radio chassis that was still in place when I got the radio, it would make sense that the main outside cover would only cover the bottom half of the back. Thanks for the help!

Where can reproductions of this fibreboard backing be found?
