That lamp hood came out great. You can start a side business just making those. Thing is - unlike the Radiolas, there is no logo so you can get away with making your own that way. The only other set like that is for the Graybar sets. They also have the same lamp hood with no logo. I just fell into the hardware for one. One other thing, you might install a welders pad under the SPU as a protective measure against any shorting. Originally there was an asbestos pad glued under there for that purpose. That is how I handled my Radiola 17 and 18. Mine had the original pad missing. The SPUs were still good, but just in case I trimmed the welders pad (like a thick piece of felt) and installed it. They are pretty cheap and you can get them at Home Depot. Those paper caps in the radiola power supply are really good quality and unless you play the radio 10 hours a day daily, probably never need rebuilding. I added a fuse in mine, however, just in case.
