Default Re: Cossor, 378 "Super-Ferrodyne" Receiver, Restoration

I cleaned up the trim (which I have detached from the cabinet), it is a uniform colour all over, including the normally unexposed bits. Mine looks the colour, I can only discribe as a grey/gold !

What I think I will have to do is take the trim with me, to a motor factors shop where they sell car 'touch-up' spray paint, and get a matching paint as near as possible.

The speaker cloth has gold 'flics' in the pattern, so it is possible that the trim was sprayed to blend in with the cloth.

Speaking of "Speaker Cloth", does anyone know whether there is any, either N.O.S. or reproduction cloth of this style being made ? My cloth is O.K. but not perfect (there is some slight damage to it) I will upload a picture of the cloth (& the metal trim).
