Default Re: Update on Ekco A22 reproduction radio.

No it's not injected, heat, pressure moulds are in multiple pieces and I use a combination of steel ,stone, plaster, wood, aluminium , tried many things and doing it this way works for me, I am sure others have tried and might have a better way but with the shapes of some radios and being able to reuse the mould, it works for me, the hard work starts when it out of the moulds, takes between 4-6 weeks, the mould for this took me around 7-10 months with all of the planning to do as well, not really cost effective, but it's passion and not always about the money, I have swapped other radio cases for international radios in the past, and probably loose money but my time gets taken up on planning and working out future moulds so don't have the time to chase hard to come by radios
