Default Re: Bargain find Roberts Revival

Hi,

If I remember correctly, to get the internals out first requires removal of the handle, that comes off with some very small circlips, then the things the handle is attached to the sides of the radio with unscrew, the whole chassis minus the speaker should be removable then. I can't remember how I removed the aerial connector from the back of mine, it might have involved a bit of soldering, or may just unplug. The beige material you found is the backing of the original covering.

I still need to finish mine! I have the RD50 with the brushed aluminium front and back, and black leather centre and handle. I was going to use either dark blue denim or carbon fibre effect vinyl wrap.

The Roberts badge can be removed once the chassis is out, there are 2 pegs on the back of the badge which can be accessed from inside the case. Carefully push them to get the badge off. I can't remember if there were any clips holding it on the inside.

Regards,
Lloyd
