escutcheons
#3

I saw some on ebay last year from vendor "Hapysellers" or "Happyselers".  I can't remember the exact spelling but either was a misspelling of "Happysellers"  He misspells it.  They were not cheap but were nice.  Unfortunately, I cannot find him on ebay presently, but he apparently is an antique shop in Kings Park NY or Smithtown NY with a relatively large inventory of antique electronics and  he occasionally posts on ebay.

An artist that I have serviced radios for had made a mold of the escutcheon of my 48-206 which apparently was made of something other than the Tenite material Philco used for many Prewar radios such as the 42PT94, but he is not interested in reproducing them in any quantity.  This is a shame, as the escutcheon is used on many popular prewar Philco radios  I don't know what he used as the material.  He is elderly and due to the COVID epidemic, I have not seen him lately.

There is a person who reproduces the escutcheons for the 41-255 and similar units.  I wonder why he / she doesn't make them.

Every Prewar Philco Transitone that uses this escutcheon needs one.  They are always in bad shape.
