One assumes that is the one in the wooden box?
Most of the later ones seem to be akind of plastic wood, well you know what
I mean, with that stuff glued on top. So if its a plastic one, using solvent
to remove the cracked and scuffed pretend leather might be dangerous.


I think its made of a form of pvc, so if one knew what adhesive was used it
still might be possible to get it off. Old Hacker radios were much the same.
I have to say that although the latest Roberts are undoubtedly made in
foreign parts they do seem to be very robustly built.

I sometimes repair and refurbish Roberts DAB radios as a sort of hobby. I
do a few minutes a day while waiting for simulations to finish, or just
thinking. There are a few fairly common faults and I have the gear.

These are covered in a sort of leatherette, I suppose. This is of
appalling quality and is usually very badly worn and torn, even after a
couple of years of just sitting on a shelf. This is good, it makes them
inexpensive.

My "real" analogue Roberts from the 60's still looked good after 30 years.
