B-Line front panels


 

I¡¯m looking for either mint condition or new reproduction front panels (getting hard to find!) for the t-4xb & r-4b. This was a literal "garage find" I've brought back to life and everything is working flawlessly, but the cosmetics need some help. Anyway, and leads would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

I have an R-4B carcass that is coming soon.? If it has a front panel, I'll let you know.

I won¡¯t know til I get it. I was only concerned with the internal parts.?

I do have a bottom from a T-4XB. ?I believe the main difference is the extra notch on the left side.?

I¡¯ll let you know when it comes in.

Shawn,

I have an excellent T-4XB face plate so if you're interested, email me offline/private reply and I'll send you a flatbed scan of it so you can see it close up.
There are a few minor scratches down at the XTAL switch but that's it.
Make me an offer.

Thanks Charlie - message sent to your QRZ email. ?

The panels currently on the station aren¡¯t horrible, mainly some markings along the silver area at the very bottom of each panel. I picked these up a few years ago- complete with ac4 & ms4 for $100. All I really wanted was the ps for my tr4c but it turned out there wasn¡¯t much wrong with it other than a couple weak tubes and a lot of cleaning as it had sat in a garage uncovered for a good 20 years. After bringing it up to speed I was going to sell it off but turns out now I kinda prefer it to my C-line. ?Didn¡¯t see that coming lol!
