Which Tenite Parts Do You Most Need?
#16

I bought a 42PT-95 with the ivory escutcheon on Friday at the SCARS event in Carlsbad, CA, so will use it as the model. Now I need to determine the correct color(s) of the escutcheons for the various models.

That's good news. I have not been able to find my 47-204 escutcheon. And I thought I had been doing a pretty good job in thinning stuff out. Icon_confused

If it helps, the escutcheon on my 41-226 "Sled" is solid dark brown. I recently sold a 41-221 with an escutcheon that was swirled, like the 1941 eight pushbutton escutcheons that were reproduced by Larry Bordonaro, only it was lighter in color, more of a dark butterscotch.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I'm wondering if any repro bezels were ever made. I have a Silvertone 4769 that is missing it's bezel.

 Nobody is reproducing escutcheons for any Silvertone models as far as I know, which is unfortunate because many Silvertones could use new plastic parts.

Try finding one for a Fairbanks Morse 7A. In fact, try finding another 7A period!
