Does anyone know where I could obtain an air chief radio fascia I have contacted John Carr and he said
his contact lost the mould he had made a few years back and can not supply these items anymore.
I would also be interested, the last I can remember was a chap in Cowra NSW ? reproduced the facials.
Cheers Jim
I have got a feeling it is the same bloke .
It would not worry me to have another mould made if there was a demand
to warrant it . I would have to do some research to who would be capable to reproduce these.

Thanks for that contact lizard I spoke to him and he said that someone
approached him in regards to making the black fascia around the radio face a little while ago.
I will send him some pics to him to confirm that we are on the same wave link.
So hopefully he comes good or he knows someone , and I will keep you in mind Jim.
cheers Saxon
does this help??

Here is the mob the recondition radios they can also supply the black face surround.
He had a complete radio at the Bendigo swapmeet to me it looked good I intend to send him my radio so that he can reco it and he said the surround was $100 He had $600 on the recoed radio does this sound like the going price.
Anyway here it is Nostalgic Wireless Company Building 8 @ 21 Northumberland St Collingwood 3066

Not sure what you mean by the "the black face surround" around the radio face - I've a diamond dot & has no black surround but does have a black panel behind the station location fascia.
I mean the black plastic or baker lite surround the diamond is set into and the small red air chief badge is mounted on it. I would post a pic but I'm not up to speed with that yet.
I hope this explains it if not send me a pm with your email address and i will email you a pic.
This might help.
