Escutcheon......
#1

I need an escutcheon for a Silvertone 6436 console (1940). The bezel is plastic and quite simple. The one on my radio is cracked. Get on the internet, go to the Portland Antique Radio website, click on the category for escutcheons, a picture of the bezel is on the top of the page (9 1/4" by 5 1/4"). I've found two so far, but both were warped, and, in effect, worse than the one I already have.

CORRECTION: The picture is the eighth one down in the right column.

I also need a propeller dial pointer for a Zenith Y-825. Zenith made this style of radio for many years during the 1950's--all have similar pointers. However, the pointers are not the same--the shafts vary in length.
I need one with a 1 1/4 inch shaft.
