   I have an Collins R-388 / 51J (sn 235) that is a pretty nice radio - had 
it for many years.

   It's only problem is that, sometime in it's life, miscreant or 
miscreants unknown refinished it's panel in a kind of pinkish-biege color 
and then applied transfer lettering for all the controls...  ;{}.

   I'd like to find a 'proper' front panel for it, rather than having this 
one stripped and re-painted and re-etched.

   I'd be happy to include the existing panel as part trade for a 'real' 
one.

   Would also consider a [cheap] junker R-388 or 51J, if the panel was good 
or 'fixable'.

   Cheers
