Rockola 1446 Cover Piece

Greetings. I am restoring a Rockola 1446. On the back of the front door, I think there is a cover plate of sorts that goes above the program assembly and hides the mechanism when viewing from the front. Mine is missing (see attached picture). Arrows point to screws that hold this piece.

Could anyone with a 1446 (or 1438) share a picture of what this piece looks like? Thank you for your help.

Hello "no name"

Here three pictures .....

This light shield had originally light blue color, but is often faded, discolored to light brown on some areas and often a little bit bent from shrinking.
Because of this, these lightshields broke often and after that these were missing .....

Best wishes Axel

Hi Axel.

Many thanks for sharing these pictures. Have you ever seen them for sale? Looking at the photos Im not sure I could make one.

Kind regards,
Todd

Hello Todd

Thomas Badertscher in Switzerland reproduced these lightshileds many years ago, but only in greenish color for the 1438 Comet.
Maybe he still has them for sale ....

Best wishes Axel

Hi Axel. Sadly Thomas is not producing these anymore nor does he have the dimensions. Do you have dimensions that I might use to make one myself?

Todd

Hello Todd

Sorry for the delay of y answer, but I was on the road to visit friends.

Here the dimensions of the light shield :
- length 64.1 cm
- hight 7.5 cm

Maybe, I still have an original light shield, not in light blue color, but in white color .... I have to look for that.

Best wishes
Axel

Thanks Axel. Let me know if you find one. White is fine for me.

Hi Axel. Not sure if you received my earlier email. Were you able to find an extra light shield?
