If they were not Bakelite its often a compressed Cardboard. You may be able to use a thin ply or craft board. Particle board has a bit of a habit of reaching an age and then starting to decompose. Paint does not seem to save it. Rather unstable in some environments. |

At time backs have been offered for some radios eg Astor Mickey's, but this is a radio made in large numbers making it worthwhile for backs to be imported. I think that some people are making backs by laser cutting but the service is not being offered in the HRSA Radio Waves Market Place. Your Yellow Pages might turn up someone with a laser cutter but you would need to come up with an accurate pattern. Or you could try Facebook "Vintage TV and Radio/Radiogram collectors parts/help/troubleshoot Australia". |
