I'm looking for a "used" or someone that reproduces a Crosley model 127 tube shield, that cover the IF tubes, so I can start restoring this beauty! Their has to be shield around , I'm thinking it MIGHT look something like a tube shield from Crosley 124 !
Any help or direction, would be appreciated,

I don't know what your resources are, but the needed shield appears to be just thin flat steel sheet stock that has been cut out and bent on a brake, with a couple of inner shield plates spot-welded to the underside. You should be able to make a full-sized prototype out of stiff cardboard, then either make a set of fab drawings from it, or just take the cardboard model to a local machine shop that does custom metal bending and let them duplicate it in metal. They might charge you an exorbitant "setup fee" but the results should be cosmetically very good.

The following video shows a 127 in operation sans shield.

I don't know if the above radio's owner has the uninstalled tube shield, but I suspect that many of the shields got tossed as DIY owners didn't think that they were necessary, and were an impediment to changing the tubes.

You don't need the shield to operate the set, but it probably makes things somewhat less noisy in operation. If you don't mind a non-original solution, you could simply install metal individual tube shields that are grounded to the chassis in lieu of the single shield assembly. These would be easily replaceable should you ever stumble on an original tube shield.

Hi CV, Thanks for the quick reply, I guess I was hoping for a fast resolve to my missing shield issue, Just purchase one, and include the extra cost in the restoration (electronic) charge for his radio ! IF it was my personal radio , I could fabricate something with my friend's metal brake and my "spot welder" , but IS the owner going the have that "warm and fuzzy" feeling, over my guess work, that is an "open back radio" ?
Thanks again for your time CV ,
