Ekco A104 radio speaker grill.

[Aerodyne]

Both the A144 and the A104 I restored definitely had gold surrounds (quite a palish gold, but gold nonetheless). These were resprayed during the restoration but it is very likely that they both were gold to begin with as I try to keep originality.
If you have a copy of my Crowood 'Vintage Radios' book, both restored models are shown.
