Bringing back a bit to the topic, I still have the original glass but the silkscreen with the stations is almost completely gone. I need to find someone that can print on glass and I have a template, but my dad remembered different stations printed on it when the radio was new. --- End quote --- HOWEVER, as you say that you have a 'Template' on file? simply print it (pref-Laser!) onto a sticky CLEAR sheet, and transfer it to glass. It works a treat!! ;D --- End quote --- Thanks for the suggestion; I should have thought of that. I will pursue that route and see if I can find a good match to the original yellow printout (most templates I saw were white). --- End quote --- Can you not EDIT the 'Template' that you have, to indicate the Info/Colour etc that you want?? If you can't I will gladly do it for you! if you PM me with the needed info/dimensions... ;D EDIT: I don't know if your 'Template' is a .PDF or just a .JPG image. Doesn't matter. I will return to you a sharp detailed scaled .PDF ready for printing. Hope you have a great day!! :-+ |

Thank you very much for the offer; I am alright on the editing department. :-+ I have this file in the other computer, but I will post it here for posterity (I can't find its URL anymore) |

I'm glad you are ok with that! A lot of people aren't. ;D Look forward to the photos!!! :D |

Just by 100% coincidence!, a virtually 'local' guy (in Perth over here), has the same radio you were talking about, but the Aussie version, when going through his on-line stock today. He said it's been pulled apart, but ALL the parts are together. I don't know the condition of the protruding glass station indicator yet, but can re-make that myself, if needed. (Aussie stations etc.) Your European BX462A is shown below... Here's the Aussie version I'm looking at. (Not 'THE' one)... I'm going to offer $30-$40 and see what he says! ;D Mainly because I like the Glass Protrusion. Not seen before. Sort of a 1940's Heads-Up-Display !! haha.. 8) |

You are very lucky if you can get it. This radio had a great sound (large speaker). You want to be sure the capacitor and the switch are in good condition - common things on radios of that era. Also, if I recall correctly from my dad's first restoration in the 1980s, the dial string is a dog to get it right. Let me know if you need some photographs from the insides (it will take a bit as I need to get it, unpack, open and nothing will "jump" at me) :) |
