The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hello,
A friend of mine recently acquired a Radio Electrola RE-45. Besides needing full restoration part of the front dial is missing. Does anyone know where a replacement dial could be found? Anyone have a parts machine sitting in their garage? I think the machines deserves to be restored.
thanks
Pete

Pete,
You can get a reproduction dial from here: http://www.radiolaguy.com/Showcase/Cons ... 0RE-45.htm just scroll down the page and there is a link to the shop for the dial and manuals. I think that you could defiantly restore that victor Re-45 because they are built like a tank, but it looks like your missing a 45 and a 27 tube in the amp. Right now I am replacing all the caps in my radio and have found it to be a fun learning experience. If you need any help on the radio I might be able to help.
