Re-covering a Roberts radio
I recently posted about some issues with a Roberts RIC-2 radio. It's now working well thanks to advice from other members of this forum.
Has anyone ever re-covered one of these sets themselves? Mine has a couple of places on the bottom where the vinyl's been nicked or cut. Also, a place at the top left corner of the speaker grille is trying to work itself loose. I've managed to get it to stay in place for now, but who knows how long that will last. Its brown color isn't the greatest either, but that's more a secondary concern. Also, where is a source for the knobs for these radios? The MW/LW/Off knob on mine broke and my attempts to glue it back together were not successful. Thank you, -William |
