I have a Marconi TF1313 bridge that I'd like to basically get rid of.  I bought it about a year ago and had gone through it with the intent of restoring it.  I cleaned it up and replaced several parts and it worked well on C.  L and R seemed to need some work but had intended to address those.

While it was on my desk, I had a spray can of paint stripper explode and splatter a large area of my workshop with its contents (I didn't discover this until a few days later).  I had it looking so good and working better than it was so I was pretty heartbroken.  Lots of other equipment on the desk took damage as well.

The 1313 took the brunt of the splatter.  Amazingly, the paint they used was mostly impervious to the stripper.  The lettering is now faded just a bit (mostly due to my attempts to try to clean the stripper residue off).  The major damage is to the plastic dial face.  It is damaged beyond repair.

I think the same dial cover is used on a few of the models so perhaps its possible someone may have a donor.  Otherwise, someone might be able to craft a replacement out of clear plastic.

At any rate, my workshop arrangements have changed and I no longer will have a place to work on these things and really need to move this on.  I'll listen to any offers - I just don't want to set it out to the trash.

Thanks,
