The replacement gold grill cloth is beautiful and matches the dial well. The finish is glass smooth but not over the top shiny. It has the semi-gloss sheen that most collectors prefer. The airplane dial graphics are perfect and the dial cover is very clear. Add this adorable and highly collectable radio to your collection. The cabinet dimensions are: 11″ wide 8″ tall 6 deep.
