See post #5 at this thread:

Basically, Neil makes slate signs professionally and has a CNC router and is adept with the software necessary to design radio back panels from a 'rubbing' or dimensioned sketch, but he spent an inordinate amount of time to produce batches of backs for radios such as the Wartime Civilian Receiver and Bush DAC90A, offering them at about half a realistic retail price that other suppliers (EG in Europe) charge. Not a single request for the '90A.

As explained in the earlier thread, I believe Neil trades as 'Tranquility UK' on ebay, where he sells his slate signs. (not the spelling of 'tranquilty' - one 'l' not two).

Might be worth contacting him there to see if he can help:

Out of curiosity, what model radio is it?

Ben Djikman has a small selection of backs for UK radios, (EG 444 People's Sets) but if he doesn't have what you need in stock, as with dials, he doesn't generally do one-offs due to set up costs, so someone would have to get enough people interested to order a batch.

Good luck in your quest Stephen.
