>>1961?  I have a 1960 manual radio and what I thought was a 1960 faceplate 
>>but the radio face will not fit through the faceplate.  It is about 3/16" 
>>too narrow.   The faceplate looks like a '60 but it has a kind of border 
>>area around the cutout stamped into the design.  I've never seen one like 
>>it but maybe it is from a 1961 or a forward control model??Just a newbie
