Philips PM3217 plastic screen surround wanted - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi all.
I bought this scope recently from Ed, but despite his excellent packing, the plastic
screen surround was smashed to smithereens( literally) by the carrier. Some of the bits are virtually dust so glueing is impossible.
The rest of the scope survived unscathed, and as described works very well.
Does anyone have a replacement from a scrapper, or even an actual scrap scope(3217 or 3215) as mine doesn’t have a handle either( seller didn’t say and I didn’t ask) they would be willing to part with please?

I’ll check the part numbers in the manual, but I have a feeling the one from the 3215 is the same.
