I completed the Crosley Super 11 with the grill cloth that came from the Italian supplier. As I mentioned on other posts, it is not the exact color nor width of the waves, but it is real close. Although the cloth set me back $64, I am glad I bought it. If I put the good deal of work into the rest of the radio, I did not want to have an also ran grill cloth. First view with flash and second with low room lighting to show off that nice lighted dial and eye.

Here is a closeup of the dial. Like all of the other Crosley mirror dials. This one also has the Super 11 on the center red ball logo.

Thanks, Steve. You know I really like the Crosleys. And, of course, I have to use the line that I hear so much on this forum. THIS has GOT to be my LAST console; I have no more room!

Lou,
I ,too, am a Crosley collector and I have many, from 1920 to the 1970's. I have maybe ten Crosley consoles but none of mine can compare to your Super 11 for sheer beauty. I know how much work goes into finishing a console and you did a fabulous job on yours. I noticed that you cleaned and polished the knobs. I always do that too but I know that quite often they are not. To me, that is the crowning touch on a fine job.
Randy James
