Anyone sell radio backs anymore?
#10

About a year ago I purchased a back for my Zenith 5R317 from FYLP. It arrived very quickly and I was really impressed with the reproduced printing. I was surprised that the thickness of the back was only 0.06", which is in my experience about half the thickness of most rigid backs I've worked with. Now the original back may have been this thin, I don't know as I never had the original back. After a year it has already warped slightly so I may at some point remove it and add some support to the inside of it. Nonetheless I'm still happy with the purchase.
