My new Marconi
#7

I contacted Mark Palmquist about making one yesterday, and I haven't heard from yet.
 He has one for the model 84 but the size is different.
     I am not bent on getting a glass one  but it would be nice to have it original.
 I am going to look into getting some special kind of plastic and making my own. I know the basics , but am not sure about  the melting in the oven part. I have heard [on ARF] that they use  some kind of different plastic.
  It will be a learning experience.
  I did try a lot of clock restoration sites but most of the clocks are round and the ones that were oval were the wrong size..
