Thanks for the info Steve.
Do you have any pictures of your 42-380 that you can post ?
I've got a picture or two of mine around here somewhere, I just need to scan them and upload them to photobucket or some other free image hosting website so they will show up here on this messageboard.
I would be interested in seeing how well your reproduction escutcheon and brass strip look. On the backside of my original escutcheon is a metal strip that holds a piece of brownish paper to the back of the escutcheon so those little slide in radio station and Band Identifers don't fall out. I'm wondering how you remove this. Is it just pressure seated on the standoffs or what, don't want to break escutcheon trying to remove it.
Does anyone make reproductions of those little band and station identifiers that you slide in there that the light passes through when the radio is on ?
I'll post some pic's soon.
