46-1209 (Code 121) - A real "fixer"
#6

Wow, thanks you guys! I knew I had come to the right place!

To Nostalgia Radio Time: Ah ha! I was wondering how the labels fit into the pushbuttons. Thanks! Much appreciated information!
To Ron Ramirez: Wow! Yes, thanks to you and to Chuck Schwark for making those sheets available. Incredible.
To Arran: Ok! That makes sense.. mine has flaked and aged to such a degree I couldn't tell right away what the original finish layer was.
The wood escutcheon itself is fine. Just a bit of sanding and lacquer should do the trick then. I've got a good selection of Mohawk brand spray (including Medium Walnut) which might just work perfectly. Thanks!

I'm a graphic designer by trade. Once I get access to my remaining original pushbutton labels I'm pretty sure I can find a good typeface match and pass that information along. If there is interest, I can use Chuck Schwark's original sheets as a guide and create a printable PDF of labels to match the 1946 / 1947 series for anyone who would like them.

Thanks again! Can't wait to get started!
