Radiola 18 bezel back side w/hood installed
Here's what many of you have been
seeking, my hood is the correct size and looks more authentic.
Unlike the soft metal one that was previously supplied by another
source available that mounted poorly by nails that you had to bend
(often damaging the hood) and then hung loose unless glued in
place, mine is made of a special rigid compound with a real bronze
metal finish and mounted with two tiny screws.
The top image shows my repro hood
mounted. The original hood was made of stamped metal and mounted
with bendable tabs thru slots in the escutcheon. My repro is
mounted with tiny screws (supplied) which involves some ability
too work with your hands and a few tools. First the slots have to
be prepared to accept the screws in the correct place. To do so, a
small round jewelers file is necessary to enlarge the holes
slightly. I offer the hood for your installation or I can install
it for you if you do not feel you have the skills to do so. Price
as follows:
Due to overwhelming demand, I
have produced a new limited supply of the Radiola 18
lamp hoods. I had to build new molds and increase the price for 2 reasons,
1; my material &
shipping cost have increased.
2; I
had to make it more worthwhile as they are very time consuming to make
as they are made individually (one at a time),
hand detailed and finished.
Also available is the same (Radiola 18)
hood without the RCA logo for the *Brunswick and Graybar
brands.

BEFORE ORDERING
OUT OF STOCK - (EXCEPT FOR A FEW WITH NO
LOGO)
* the Brunswick and Graybar
brands were electrically the same as the Radiola 18 but the cabinets
differed slightly. The no logo hood can be used on these
brands.
Do to other obligations and my backlog of work, it will be later this
fall before I will be making more. Please e-mail
me if you would like to be contacted when they are again available.
