For those with needs I have available for send out next week the AWA Radiolette mother of pearl dials !
these suit near all models of Radiolette from the R28 through to the R37C - They also suit many timber versions .
The dials were manufactured to perfection.

The were a few around a few years back but they were not right they bore like 3 chunks as half moon cutout's around the outside these were to fasten the dials too the dial frame work . That's shonky but anyway the ones I have do have the original slots cut in them to fasten dial to frame correctly - as were the originals. The went to Europe to have the slots done - lot of work involved.

I shall send a picture to Brad if people want to view them, these are perfect ! there are some available there are also quiet a few spoken for, so if you miss the tram!!!! well I can't help you then !

Should you require a nice new mother of pearl Radiolette dial then you can contact me via this email.

A valve a day keeps the transistor away...

All I need now is the radio .
You know in the 70's While out full time repairing televisions in the field I could have had any amount of these radios for free.
I didn't want all that junk!.I was interested in modern electronics(black and white TV). haha.
I wish I could go back to those good times, but then again I would have to carry a smart phone and the boss would know exactly where I
was all the time.

Yes there are many Empires around we just have to locate all the people who have them, in my time I owned 88 empires woods Bakelites and you know all mine were sold off 1998 to 2009 ive none left. But 27 of mine all had burned out dials of course I could not replace them in those days. If all the stock of the new pearl dials sells and finds homes ok - then I will do the yellow Acrylic versions that went mostly into the wooden AWA and Bandmaster wooden versions.
The new pearl dials have the original slots at sides to fasten to the housing correctly - people told me it cant be done? ( yes the worlds flat too, and we are all going to fall off the edge lol lol ) .... my factories can do just about anything!

I can do near anything for us, providing there is a conga line of people to absorb all the dials! not just 25 - from how ever many hundreds I must make! - this is not cheap))) the cost is $1000's to do and big thousands! they are major projects done specificaly for our rare sets.

Many have asked me to do the small round dial in yellow to suit the R27 wooden Radiolette 1934 I can do yes but I would need a loan of a perfect original and the factory of mine overseas they get very cheesed !! if I dont get around 500 of each dial produced. If I knew cast in stone, that there were at a minimum of 300 x R27 radiolettes of 1934 with bad dials to absorb 300 new dials - well I would do them.

For the Radiolette Escutcheons to bolt to case ive had exactly 600 sets of 4 bolts and 4 nuts exactly same as originals reproduced and wasn't that fun to try find a company overseas to do those))) - they are done and arrive soon its $26 for a ful set of original type bolts and nuts to hold the Escutcheons onto the cases. Suit all R28 to R48 to the wooden versions to the fret & foot sets , if your nuts and bolts missing or burred over, then I have 600 sets of new ones.

In the Radio game I think we have all got a few screws missing lol lol....

Also Radiolette and Radiola valkve can tops - in AWA factory blue for the radiolette series and other Bandmaster models and plain silver can tops that went on the R49 to R82 big brother empires and the woods and the consoles used some 1934 to the end of 1939.... all this is available in the next 25 plus days but only a limited amount ...... so if people miss the tram well ))) what can I do you know !

Hi Steve,

I don't suppose you have a blue capacitor for an Empire State, Radiolette 37?

No hope on that Gary as yet very hard to locate, I could have the factory make them but unless its 100 made they won't entertain it eh
