HMV 1122 Radio.
Morning all,
A question concerning HMV 1122: I removed the chassis and noticed the dial back plate is heavily corroded or coated with something. Is this original or really just corrosion? Considering the radio chassis is in a hell of a state anyway so I would not be surprised, however, the coating looks too even so I wonder whether this is by design. Any ideas? Thanks, Stef.

Re: Hmv1122
I don't have an 1122 but isn't that just a 'felt' covering ?
I'd remove the dust by carefully using a dry paintbrush then you'll be able to see more clearly what it is. HTH Andy |

Hi Andy, you are right, it is some sort of red felt. Having removed the dust it is quite obvious.
Thanks Andy.
