EKCO U245 Valve Radio Restoration - 1955 Model

While in Melbourne recently I picked up this UK built EKCO radio from 1955. I put it in the car when I picked it up and took it out in Queensland 3 weeks later so I'm keen to see what I bought.

Papier Mâché Recipe:
The mixture is just Papier Mâché but mixed with PVA glue instead of water. I used toilet tissue soaked in water for 30 seconds wrung out and chopped up in a mini chopper. Add some flour and a little oil and form into a putty mixed with the PVA glue. If the backboard is coloured add art acrylic paint to match the existing colour, powder works best but art paint in a tube works too. It dries as hard as a rock. There are recipes online for Papier Mâché, just change them to use PVA instead of water and chop the paper up, not into strips. Use non coloured paper. You do not need to cook the mixture.
