Greg:

Keep me informed if you have any luck, as I will with you.

I have both items needing same treatment, and I'm warily checking out sources.

I tried getting a scan from a Loudspeaker assembly...but the paint result was too "brownish".

Think I'll try getting a scan from a piece of electronic kit which is closer to NATO green but not so glossy.

I've only ever seen those 2 units in green myself maybe that's an australian thing. Funny thing is I wouldn't mind one of either, a bit hard to find here though. One day i'll have the cash to buy one from the US.

Richard... green it is, but it's the exact shade and tone of green that I think we're after.

PRC-77 runs about $300.00, RT-524A, up to about $800.00, used, CDN. US Supplier price is about $2000.00 (!)
