Default Can anyone help me find this escutcheon?

It's current dimensions are ~ 11 1/2" x 9 1/2" at the mounting ears.


At this point I'm willing to pay pretty well for one. The TV is getting
closer and closer to finished, but I can't put it back in the case till I
find one of these.

TIA

Main Entry: es·cutch·eon
Pronunciation: \is-'k?-ch?n\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English escochon, from Anglo-French escuchoun, from Vulgar
Latin *scution-, scutio, from Latin scutum shield - more at esquire
Date: 15th century
1 : a defined area on which armorial bearings are displayed and which
usually consists of a shield
2 : a protective or ornamental plate or flange (as around a keyhole)
3 : the part of a ship's stern on which the name is displayed

I guess that might qualify as an escutcheon, but just barely...

A very crude drawing with approximate dimensions (except for mounting ear
centers, which I got from the TV cabinet).

Anyone that can make one? Find one? Conjure one up from the ether?

Probably more accurately called a bezel. Hey Blacksmith, can you help her
out? Your replacement parts are awesome, almost like making something from
nothing.

Wow, that's too far gone to make a mold and cast a replica. You might have
to make a new one out of wood (or whatever) and paint it. What do
modelmakers use -- balsa? Foam plastic?

A long shot, but I wonder if this could be re-bent if you heat it with a
heat gun. Many old plastics (including the dreaded Tenite) won't re-soften,
but you haven't got much to lose.

I'm probably all wet, but that original's so warped, I don't see how you
could make a mold from it. You could make a full-scale model, then make a
mold from the model, then cast a repro from the mold. But in that case, why
not just use the model as your one-off repro? I can't imagine there would be
a big consumer demand for more of these . . . .
