Can anyone recommend where to get an R-390 front panel painted and
re-lettered? It has the engraved panel. I have an Imperial 1963 that has
the off Grey/Green front panel and I'd like to keep it the same color.
The reasoning is that the 1956 vintage US Navy Destroyer I served 30
plus years ago had these same receivers with the same color front
panels. The rear of the panel could be used for color matching and the
only part I want painted in the front panel and perhaps the edges and
outer margin on the rear. This color scheme matches the LS-474 speakers
which I have. This color is not the typical Battleship Grey that most of
us are accustomed to seeing. What is interesting is that the interior of
the tin can I was on pretty well matched this color as well. The color
is typical of the R-1051 line. Thanks in advance. 73's to all. Tom K4NCG
