Many Silvertone bezels are warped, cracked, and deteriorated. Does anyone know how to make a mold from a good bezel so that other good bezels could be produced?

For making plastic parts...I have used the white modeling clay you find at walmart in the craft section..Press good bezel into clay... Then use clear colored epoxy (the kind you get at walmart that you squeeze out all at once in two tubes... I SUGGEST 20MNT EPOXY ) and mix a little stain in to color (or dye) and let harden for a few days...This also works good for reproducing those decorative press wood parts on 1920s battery radios.. On my RCA Radiola X I was missing the pressed wood trim on one side.. took off good parts and made a mold and followed process mentioned above..Unless your a expert you can not tell the difference

I know how you feel , I need a bezel as well, the problem to reproduce the bezel is you need a good original to make the mold, without it you are SOL.
