Hello, I'm no professional but bought a Rambler at an auction, paying £15 for three radios and finding the Roberts the only one working. I was completely hooked!
I've been after a Roberts Revival, but seeing how much these are I couldn't bring myself to buy one. I really fancied the pink leather one in particular!
So I couldn't believe my luck dropping on this beauty at my local car boot yesterday haggled down from £10, to £8 to £6, finally he excepted £5!!! YES £5! But the leather covering is shot.
I really would love to cover it in oil cloth, but don't want to disturb the mechanism being a total novice. I'm wondering if there is a way of getting the Roberts metal emblem off easily without damage? And if it's easy enough to actually dismantle the radio inside without damaging it?
I've scraped the leather off the back to reveal the beige suede like fabric. I might do the rest the same ideas and HELP NEEDED
Please x newbie please be nice
