[R-390] Non A Front Panel

[KC8OPP Roger S.]

Fellow R-390 drivers,

I picked up another R-390 last month at a local ham
fest, was listed as a parts unit.  The owner indicated
that it had a bad RF deck.  Well all the parts were
there, including the meters and ID tag, plus all the
tubes.  

As luck would have it, the bad RF deck was a burnt
resistor and a mis-aligned band switch.  There are
other minor problems but now the radio plays and will
be on the bench this winter for a complete going
through.

The big problem is the extra hole in the front panel. 
It would seem that a previous owner installed an
on/off switch for something.  The switch is gone but
the hole remains.  

Anyone out there have an extra Non-A front panel they
would consider parting with?  Does not need to be
refinished, I can do that.  But would like it to be
engraved and straight without any extra holes.

Any suggestions for plan "B"?  I have thought about
having a machine shop mill the hole round and press a
plug in.  Not really interested in filling the hole
with putty or things related.

Thanks for your time and let me know what you may
have, even a real "parts" rig.

73's
