I have a 49-1040 with its back, if either of you want pictures or other details of the back for reproduction. It is on the bottom of a stack of TVs in a closet, though, so it would be 2-3 weeks before I could get to it. Let me know.

Thanks for the offer. I did find a couple decent pictures online so I know the general shape and hole pattern. I'm interested if yours has any interesting labels, service info, warnings etc. That's really my favorite part about having an original back.

I won't be getting around to mine for at least a month so no rush.

Over the weekend I finally found a picture of the ellusive Admiral 19A11 back and added it to my archive. Looks pretty easy to replicate.
