Any one know where I can find the amber colored plastic. I can
probably make the one out of clear and add the lettering. OTOH I
probably could, using Plexiglas glue fit the two together so the
distortion doesn't show. However I'm unwilling to try something that
drastic without having a "back up" in case it doesn't work.

Thanks,

They have it in sheets 2' X 4' at roughly $40 USD plus over size
shipping. It still beats a couple hundred for the panel/face plate.

I'm going to try and come up with some about a foot square. That'd be
enough to do about a dozen radios. :-))

Thanks again,

It comes in most colors of the rainbow.

TAP normally has much smaller pieces from other jobs for sale (from custom
work done on site). It might take a phone call to snag a smaller piece, but
usually you can buy anything from a few square inches to a truckload.

I already received a not back from them that they don't stock the
transparent amber in 1/16" thickness. I may have to put the thin
piece between to pieces of clear.

I'll give them a call during business hours tomorrow.
