I bought this Marconi model 85 yesterday. I really like the radio and I do have the piece of wood missing on the bottom. There is one knob that is wrong and the convex glass is missing.. I did find a supplier who can sell me the convex glass for $260.00.
Well I might think about that for a while. In the meantime maybe one of you guys has a supplier who can make the convex glass. it is 9 3/8 X 6 7/8 inches.
I did search the internet and ran out of ideas on the glass.
It was suggested that I put in a piece of flat glass but the dial would rub on the glass.. If I moved the chassis back I don't know if the knobs would stick out far enough.
I have not taken the chassis out yet so I am not sure how it will work out.
The cabinet is in good condition and need a good cleaning and I think it will keep it's original finish.
