Default Ekco A22

I have an Ekco A22 the plastic tuning dial is warping with white powder seeping out. Please advise as to what I should do.

Thanks.

Hi Snostrap

Unfortunately damaged tuning scales on EKCO sets isn't that uncommon.

However the good news is there are some very good repros available such as this one.

Nice set the A22 and worth sorting out.

Cheers

Mike T

Thanks for this

Reading some of the threads Now I don't feel so guilty at allowing the panel to warp - it seems a common complaint.

If you don't want to spend 40 quid here is my free to use artwork https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/...ad.php?t=56714 . Those reproductions use the same artwork, I know because I made a small mistake (guess where).

Thank you catswhisker8 for answering the question I was about to ask!! Maybe I will stay with the original until I decide to renovate it - or not.
