It was great, when the radio had to be moved for cleaning or decorating, but it always seemed the the radio always to be in the same location.
I think they might have been custom. The outlets in the building are Leviton, but the covers have a design around the edge that I can't find anywhere. I've searched high and low, but never found another to replace broken ones.

The wire used in the wall is 14ga. I guess they just used standard electric wire. As for the wire for this plug, I'm guessing it was around 16 - 18ga?
