I have an AWA Empire State radio in GREEN. Am missing back panel and the 2 knobs. Was a wedding gift from my father to my mother in 1937 therefore sentimental value. Do you have any ideas &/or connections where I might find spares please.
Cheers. Nick

Hi Nicholas
Your sitting on a pretty penny there, the last one of those on Ebay went for $10,100.
Try Ray Hoskins anatron.hotkey.net.au
he reproduces knobs and might be able to help. He runs a busniess in resin casting, a little slow to answer emails though.
Regards
Peter

Many thanks Peter. I was lucky enough to already find Les Lutze, & he very obligingly made me two knobs, however, he could not help me with the back panel. Coincidently, anatron.hotket has Les listed as the contact in Hobart.
Perhaps Ray can help so I will email him.
Cheers - again thanks - Nick.
