Hi folks,
Ideally it would be Westinghouse's Micarta that I'd prefer, but since they are essentially identical in every way, I'm not terribly picky.
Does anyone have any or know where I could acquire the paper based stuff that looks somewhat yellowed/beige? If so, please let me know. At this point, I would gladly pay enough to make it worth anyone's effort.
Thanks!!

Assumed you looked through the suppliers section, I know some members have found a replacement for the black type. So I would think there would be a lighter color
one available also. But have not looked myself.

Also, check ebay or craigslist, etc for cabinets with non-functional machines in rough shape that can be scrapped for textolite.

The problem with reusing textolite is that there are many size variants depending on cabinet. I have never used new stuff, but new stuff would allow you to create your size and drill holes where necessary.
I only have some GE stuff and it's mostly from old DR cabinets, mostly from painted single door models.

I'm curious as well. I've seen the Textolite replacements in the suppliers section, but there's quite a few choices, so it's anyone's best guess what would be most comparable. I've been luck with reusing most of my old Textolite, but there are some projects where it would be better to use new stuff!

Call McMaster Carr and request samples of proposed substitutions. They are usually pretty generous with simple material.

I have a Set of 4 Original General Electric bakelite foot pads for Monitor Top Refrigerator. Got these years ago from the Schenectady, NY area, home of General Electric.
GE logo on each. Marked D, 10, 17 and 18 respectively. They appear unused, no scratches or chips. Like new condition.
I believe they came with an early 1930s GE Monitor Top refrigerator (perhaps a early 30s DR1, but not positive about that).
I've seen the softer rubber type Monitor Top foot pads, but these hard early plastic seem rare.

Are you offering to sell them or something else?
If you’re selling what’s your price?
Or are you offering to reproduce them ?

I'd like to sell them. But I don't have a good idea of the value.

I don’t know how to suggest a value on something as uncommon, but with appeal to such a small group. I would suggest you name a price and go from there.
