I have a reproduction faceplate for my 41-290. It seems way to red (Mahogany) for my radio. Has anybody else had this issue? I'm wondering if I should try a light coat of toner...
I would post a photo, but I no longer have a photobucket account.
I just got what looks the same as yours for my 41-280 and my original is warped & cracked but would guess there was a bit of differences in the originals also.
The pictures of the 41s look like there was a fair difference, but may be just the photo taking.
What did you use to clean up your brass strip? Looks good. I don't want to mess mine up cleaning.
I used GoJo on the station calls for the push buttons and the 3 little clear covers I have.
Have you found any links on what is being used to gin up new push button call letters?

I just used Brasso on a rag to clean my brass strip.
I found a link to scans of original push button call letter sheets. I downloaded the attachment, but don't remember who's thread it was on, so I can't give credit where credit is due. I can send you the attachment if you PM me your email address.
