Chipping it off with a sharp cutting knife, rounded at its tip, a work for about two days. Don't (I repeat do not) use stripper, it'll eat the tenite. Please also read the recipee how to flatten tenite, which is a very peculiar material.

Chris: Loved the video, had no idea that she wore a costume that so closely matched the radio knobs. She was indeed hot and so is that radio, it's a beauty. Congrats. :)

Hello,
I am restoring a Mae West radio and miss the speaker cone. Does anyone make a replacement?

soak in water with just a spash of vinegar, takes awhile, but no damage, use this for clear plastic lenses as well
that radio is now a conversation piece that makes everyone green with envy, better than the transistorized dolls
