Thanks for the kind compliments.. It took a while but I wanted to get it right. It was good that I had one with the original finish on it so I could match the other one to it. Now you may see why I wanted original Rogers grill cloth

Excellent job Dan. That cabinet can hold its own in any high end setting.
By the way how do the Rogers radios sound?

These rogers radios sound very good. It has a 12 inch speaker. and it is about the heaviest speaker that I have ..
Some of the other radios that I have sound good but this has a very nice rich tone.. With 10 tubes it does sound nice.
I could not give you technical aspects of the radio as I am not a tech, but if it sounds good to my ears then I like it. Now I have to find or make a power supply for one of them. I need another clock and hopefully one will come along.
Thanks again for the comments. Dan

Good to hear they sound nice as they look. The clock might be a challenge to find. I'm sure someone on here can help you with how to build a power supply. Good luck.

Thanks Fred... Since I live up here in Alberta, there is a good chance that I will run across a Rogers console that I can steal the cloth from..
I would buy the radio and use the cloth on the 10-12 and put something different in it , Just to have the right one on the 10-12
