Source for 1941 repro escutcheon?
#3

I too am restoring a 41-290, have tried many and what I thought we're all distributors of the late Larry B's Old Time Replications. And Thanks to Dales Antique Radio, of which he gave me other avenues to search, including Larry's brothers contact, still nothing. Currently, I'm looking into replicating it, and if so, will try to make a change to it to include the gold outline, just inside the perimeter. This is only if I can't find one of Larry's or better yet, NOS.

Maybe someone has one that they did not use, or ended up using on a radio that turned out not to be restorable and wouldn't mind parting with it?

I'm looking for the marbeled brown plastic escutcheon for slide rule dial with pushbuttons such as used on the 41-250.
