1965 Radio Face Plate
1965 Radio Face Plate
Looking for a source for either NOS or repro radio faceplate. Mine is severely pitted and I would like to find a replacement. Clark's does not carry this item only used items which are also pitted.
Thanks
Thanks

Look on Flea Bay. There is currently one on there that is being "Represented as new" with a Buy it Now price of only $75.00 plus shipping.
It is currently at $9.99 and appears the reserve has been met.
For what it is worth, the same seller recently sold an identical item for $27.50

And another one for $60.00

Other options would be to contact some of the well known Corvair vendors or repair shops to see what they may have available.

Thanks to both carholic4life and skipvair for your responses. I checked with both Clark's and California Corvair and both have used but just as pitted as mine. Neither offers a rechromed unit. Again much thanks for your suggestions

Re: 1965 Radio Face Plate
I sincerely hope that the item you have purchased, meets your expectations.
Remember that an "NOS" item is often less than perfect, especially after fifty years.
Folks selling parts also misuse, misrepresent, and or misunderstand the term "NOS".

Re: 1965 Radio Face Plate
The seller warned that NOS may include some scratching, etc. I certainly don't expect an item 57 years old +/- to be perfect. But almost anything is better than what I have.
