It was also very very tatty - the fake leather covering they used for it was very poor quality, and no joke - just lightly tapping it would cause chunks of fake red leather to fall off!
Time to take it apart and restore it!
Before photos:
First stage was to take it apart and fix the electrical fault, this was easy - the PSU was broken. Now I know I can fix the Radio, time to re-upholster it.
A trip to Dunelm and my wife picked a rather nice red flowery material. I bought a meter at £4. Bargain.
After a strip down before recovering:
And the finished product, re-upholstered, cleaned and fully working!
I still need to do the carry handle, but I don't have a sewing machine, so that will have to wait until I visit my mum.
This looks great. Which glue did you use and how did the handle refurb go?
