Does anyone make photofinish replacements?
#1

I got a 37-610 a couple months ago for $40. It is all there except the guy wanted to try and restore it so removed all of the finish down to bare wood. I could tell by how plain the front is it must have been a photofinish and sure enough a google search reveals burl wings with what looks like flamed maple in the center with three of those yellow-black-yellow vertical stripes.Does anyone make a photofinish overlay you can just put on the front like a decal and spray lacquer over it or do I have to start getting two types of veneer and see if I can cut out the pattern in real veneer. Sounds like a whole lot of work for a radio that isn't worth much but I would like it to look as nice as possible. I have a completely restored model 620 and those have a nice mahogany veneer and wooden column pieces which dress up the front. I fear the 37-610 will look extremely plain without some way to fancy up the front. Any thoughts?
