SCR 528 Face Plate

Post by halifaxgroup » Tue Mar 01, 2022 5:43 am

I noticed a number of SCR-528 radio set up face plates are in French. Specifically, the BC-603 and BC-604 components. Has anyone ever had English text faceplates made for replacement? Thanks in advance. Paul

I don't think anyone ever made repro data plates for them.The French manufactured BC-603 and BC 604 in the 1950's.

I would be interested in repro BC-603 data plates.

These are the French faceplates off of my radio sets. I sent them to a local company that makes data plates for me. They said they can replicate these with English text. Obviously, different than the smaller data plates.

Does anyone else need these, perhaps I can get a package deal for a few sets.

I have a data plate company that has made new faceplates for the SCR-508.528 radio set. They look like the ones pictured above but brand new and in English. I am in the middle of proofing them. Not cheap.

Larger faceplate, $225.00, Smaller one, $205

I have a 48-hour window to give him the quantity, otherwise they are just going to make one each for my needs.
