Hi everyone,

I found your forum tonight, while researching restoration of old bakelite radios.

I found a cream coloured Kriesler 11-20 in my dad's shed this year which works but has very feint sound.

Im looking forward to reading your stories, and experiences.

Thanks,
Dawn

G'day Dawn,

Welcome to the forums.

It sounds like your 11-20 may be in need of a service. If you'd like to keep listening to this radio I would place this on the to-do list as the inner workings can be damaged if they are overloaded due to parts that have reached the end of their service life.

When fully serviced, this model is a very good performer.
