When you say choke plate are you talking about the one Art Singer makes?

No, this console has the early choke set-up.  There is a large aluminum colored plate and a guide plate underneath.  Unfortunately, I do't have any pictures.  I do however have a spare large aluminum colored plate along with a bunch oother random parts.

Get the dash keep radio and resale dash. http://charlotte.craigslist.org/pts/5634240193.html

My daughter lives in Charlotte so would be easy to pick-up, but probably have to let it go.

I do have the antenna switch and some off brand Radio.  I may try and replicate a close copy of the faceplate with my 3-D printer and see if I can get it to look close to original.

So I 3-D printed a Radio Faceplate Blank.  I will probably leave this in for the short term until I can figure out what I am going to do with the Radio.  I may try to print one that looks like the original radio faceplate.  Won't help me much without the radio though, but it does give me some options.

I finally drank enough beer to get up the nerve to paint the lettering on my face plate.  The paint pen @psdenno recommended works great.  I'm going to put a couple of coats over the next day or two.

Nice job!  All you need is a silver Sharpie, a steady hand, and balls the size of watermelons.  The silver on my center console has held up well for a few years now with no sign of wear or flaking.
