Thanks Dan, some guys were telling me the escutcheon was polished from factory, after researching a little I don't think it was so I went ahead and darkened it, looks a lot better.

Fred,
Very good! I'm liking that bezel now! What did it you use on it? Steve

Hi Fred
That is an absolutely beautiful job you did on that!! I have the previous year 1935 T8-14 with the round dial and also the little 1936 5T, both are very sensitive and 2 of my favorite radios!! Sincerely Keith Jansen

Looks pretty good ,gives it that patina (aged) look again  I thought about hanging it over the ash tray when I smoke , to age the dial cover
