Has anyone had cabinet pieces reproduced, if so where?

I've had pieces made by Jerry Rutkowski at grampstreasures.com, and he does a wonderful job.

You might also want to consider checking with George Vollema to see if he has an original available.

Sorry to hear that. George has worked parts miracles for me so often I get to thinking he always can. 107s were low production and survivors, I would think, must be fairly uncommon.

Finding an original lid to a 107 is going to be tough. Only about 1000 were produced. If you have one side, a good woodworker should be able to reproduce the profile for you. You might even check with places that make millwork and cabinets. I had some missing moldings in my house reproduced at a local millwork shop.
