Since we've been talking about restoration, I wondered if anyone can answer a question for me. All 38-690 radios came with backs and most still have the clips for them attached. What material can I use to fashion a new back and where would I get it? I would need some sort of photo to be able to copy the air openings needed. Another reason for wanting to do this besides helping to keep dust out is that many have written that a back will help the function of the acoustic clarifiers. Any thoughts?
