Hi m82a1pa,
You can obtain repro finials from Dick Oliver, whose contact info can be found on Chuck's resources page:- <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.philcorepairbench.com/links.htm">http://www.philcorepairbench.com/links.htm</a><!-- m -->
The model pictured on my webpage (earlier post) has a set of Dick's reproductions, though they are a tad larger than the originals. I could tell this by comparing them with the one original (damaged) that came with my set. My other set has non-original (though very close) finials also. Seems the finials are nearly always a problem with these! I had looked a long time for one of these radios and then, of course, came into two of them within a short time of each other!
I've heard since that Dick makes slightly smaller versions of the finials for a slightly higher price, though I'm not sure how true this is. Still, the ones I bought from him are of excellent quality and a very close match and I was certainly very happy to get them!
Paul
