  I have finally finished my Rogers 10-12 console. It has been five years since I bought the radio and at that time it didn't have a power supply. I found another one with the power supply  and now I have one complete radio.. I stripped and refinished the cabinet, changed the capacitors, but it still had a problem.
   With the help of a good friend it is now working very well.
It is the holy Grail of Canadian radios so now it sits in my dining room.  BUT  I am still looking for a power supply and a clock.

Really stunning radio. I even think that my wife wouldn't mind having it outside the basement Icon_smile

The Canadian sets sure seem to have over the top cabinets! Too bad they're so expensive to ship to the states. I would like to have one or two....

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the radio was removed before bidding was over so I didn't get a chance to bid.dconant — 04:10 PM
