Philco 40-160 Bezel & Escutecheon
#1

Hey guys, I've got a Philco 40-160F and I'm getting myself ready to begin the restoration process. The two pieces that look like I will definitely need to buy are the bezel, Philco Part# 27-4842 and the escutecheon, Philco part# 27-4843. I understand that the go-to-guy for these parts is Old Time Replications out in California, but I was hoping maybe someone had a spare they were willing to part with, or knew of some other source for these. Willing to pay of course!

Here are pics of the broken parts I have here. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

So my guess is that these parts are pretty much impossible to find. I started last night on the grueling task of making this from scratch. I'm using a sheet of 3/32" polycarbonate plastic to make a crude original. Then I'll make a mold, pour the part, reshape it and perfect it, make another mold of that, then pour the final piece. If anyone else has any other suggestions, I'm open to them, believe me.
