42-380 Photo finish Faux Finish Resources
#2

I suspect you will have to replace the photofinish yourself. There is a nice tutorial on how to do this at http://www.philcoradio.com/schooley/index.htm
and at least one (probably more) threads of on the phorum . Others more familiar with the the type of wood the photofinish is supposed to be will probably chime in but it looks like some of the walnut burl images you can find by a google image search. I used the color printer method in the "Schooley" tutorial and the outcome is shown in the thread I mentioned. I had the image printed at a print shop (like the old Kinkos; now Fed-Ex) on an 11" x 17" paper so I didn't have to make a joint. Don't know if that will be large enough for your application or not. I didn't post an updated photo of the finished radio in the earlier post so here's one with photofinish strip at the top.
