Looking for 41-240 cabinet parts
#4

Here's an update on my trying to solve the warped escutcheon problem on my 41-240. I went ahead and decided to just make it out of wood - walnut in this case. I don't know if guys at Philco would have done it this way, but it seemed to me the best solution. Given the time and effort, I think I'd avoid doing it again. Anyway, for those interested this is how it turned out.

BTW: the dial was recreated using Adobe Illustrator to do the art work and sent to thrifty signs who made a clear vinyl static-cling label with white lettering that I attached to the underside of the glass. They do good work (sharp detail) and a great price... http://thriftysigns.com
