I have a rose pink 2500 I would like to complete.

It is missing both its faceplate and its receiver cap - instead, I currently have beige ones on it... Even a white faceplate would look better than the beige one.

Anyone have these for a reasonable price?

Hi Dave:

I have the Pink rec cap you need for your 2500 set. I will send it to you for the cost of shipping if you want. Send me your address.

dave, i have a spare pink 2500 faceplate. i'll put it in the post to you this week.......with my compliments.
it has a tiny bit of paint missing on its ribbed back - i've been meaning to touch it up with matching paint or nail varnish, tricky to get an exact match.

Gary: I have sent you a PM. So, it looks as though I only need the face plate now...

And with the message from Dave, I guess I have a face plate coming now, too! My wife has 50 million shades of nail polish, so I am sure I can find a shade very close to what I need to touch it up! Thanks to both of you!

When these arrive, I will post another, updated photo!

From a mis-matched mongrel to a boudoir beauty - this is the Rose-Pink 2500 I showed a couple of weeks ago when I was looking for a receiver cap and a correct face-plate. These were obtained thanks to Gary Millam and David@london, and this is the end result. B4, of course shown last. Thanks David and Gary!

The back paint had worn off a couple of places on the face-plate as received, and Linda had the perfect shade of nail polish to repair it. Bet you can't spot the repairs! Just re-assembled it this morning.
