Antenna Reproduction Complete

Finally finished the Radiola 28 antenna reproduction. It looks good--only an expert would know it's not original. I couldn't get the details I wanted from someone who had an original, so I worked from photos and a similar Radiola 25 antenna. The frame was made to my specs by a professional woodworker, and I did the finishing and wiring.

Here's a side-by-side comparison with a Radiola 25:

This is the coronation of the Radiola 28:

…and a link to the album with 22 photos showing some details of the fabrication (some of which I've already posted here):

Of course, now the radio doesn't work at all and I'm going to have to pull the chassis to see what's wrong.
