Roberts R606 nasty speaker grille
Hi.
I'm new to collecting old radios at the moment transistor radios from the 50's/60s and 70's. I have a couple of Roberts R606 radios that have the black horizontal bands or stripes on the metal speaker grille. The paint has worn off over time and I would like to repaint them. Has anyone had experience of this and can you suggest a way to do this. I've tried to use black permanent marker and it's more blue like and thin. Thanks in anticipation. |
