preset labels for 38-3XX?
#1

Hello, all. I just bought my first Philco console on Monday, a 38-3XX, for $40 (along with a 1953 Admiral 5D31 radio/phonograph, a Webcor "Magic Mind" record changer, and several 78RPM records from the 1940's-1950's). The cabinet is in decent shape, and the chassis is not rusty, though the dial glass is broken, several tubes are missing along with the top center dial lamp socket, and the power cord is cut. It is also missing several knobs (the band-switch lever and the three knobs at the bottom of the panel). All are easily remedied, however.

One item I am not so certain is easily fixed, though, is that the preset windows are all empty, of both preset labels and the covers for them. Does anybody make repros that would be correct for this set?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. The radio looks like it could be...interesting...to work on...Icon_confused
