Guy named Mark in Atlanta custom made it. He does radio dials mostly, but sent him photos and he did it no problem. Had to send him the brass ring, but he even used the original rivet points to attach new plastic. I was the prototype, so I had to pay for him to make the mold. If you wanted one for yours, it would be cheaper for you since he already made plastic mold. I just told him to fit to brass ring, make it convex about 1/8 inch out and put a hole exactly in the center for dial knob.

Looks awesome and it's heavier plastic too. Hard to get a good picture of it b/c of all the reflections.

Dial plastic turned out great.

And I can't get over the original finish on that set. Someone must have taken very good care over all those years, not to mention it must have spent it's life in a very controlled climate. Seems here in rural Wisconsin people tend to use up their old furniture.

The finish on the set is amazing! Almost 100% perfect. Tim found it in Buffalo at a random Estate Sale one weekend. $25! Must have been inside (not an attic or basement either) it's entire life.
