Hi,
I am looking for a Radiolette 37 capacitor and valve cover cap as shown below?
Capacitor does not have to be working but must look reasonable.

Thanks,

Why not retain the metal can and replace the capacitors inside? This will keep the radio looking right and be functional.
If you are tempted to repaint it, I may have a "caution" transfer to replace the current one.

Hi Harold,
The photo is not my radio. My radio has the capacitor can missing.
See below.

OK, I understand your problem.
If you are able to find one, the offer of a caution transfer still stands.

Puts me in mind of Diogenes walking around with a lantern searching for an honest man.

Which one? The honest man or the can?

Actually, I'm getting some prototype tinplate shields made very soon.
Some measurements of the original and I could get some made while I'm at it.
