There are two plastic bexels available for the 1942 season, one with nine pushbuttons and the other with eight pushbuttons, the 42-380 has nine pushbuttons, so I think so you are safe there. A repro bezel and a new set of pushbuttons and knobs will cost about $60 or more, so factor that into how much you pay for the set. I personally would not pay any more then $50 for one of the 42-380s, as is, in one of the common "wedding cake" style cabinets, the one with the vertical grille bars with the top tier narrower then the bottom, and that's for one that needs minimum cabinet work. Between the 1940-42 model years they must have built 1/2 a million console radios in that style of cabinet.
