Radio set No 11 power supply leads.

Gents, Mostly finished the Canadian pattern Aluminum tray, just got to put a couple of mystery holes in and get dimensions for the top mounted tray if anyone has dimensions from an original. Also there is another item that sits on top to make a small mount for.

Hi Gina, I plan to paint it next week, I am waiting for material to arrive to make the top tray, I plan to turn my blast cabinet into an oven to heat up before painting for best results, then of course a top coat to colour match to the 11 set radio.

Did your plug arrive ?, I have drawing of this Canadian version, but there is so much work involved in getting it right, if you are making it yourself no problem, but if you were paying someone to make it, it's uneconomical, must of put 40 hours in to get this far!.

Not arrived yet will let you know when it does. I would be making it myself...not rich enough to have someone else do it

Looks like it will be a cracker of a radio when its finished....

Its nice to deal with such friendly folk when it comes to N0 11 radios ;-)

Gina, I will photograph the plans and email them to you, but I understand the Australian version of the carrier frame is pressed steel and there are differences.

Hi Mike, I think the Aluminium version is easier to make, less tooling required, you just have to source the correct 1/8" thick extruded channeling, here is a pic of the one it's copied from.
