Gary, if I read your post correctly then I would print the details out on decent paper and put them in a simple plastic wallet attached to the outside of the back or underneath the radio, ventilation permitting, any file photo's can be printed out on a decent glossy paper, my other half has a seperate small inexpensive file to photo printer (HP) they come out like real photo's.

[EDIT: (Withe ref to above) Attach a sticker to the wallet to say "Please remove before using this radio, store wallet in a safe place for future reference"]

I'll vote for that - electronic media formats change rapidly - SD cards are pretty "old hat" now and in maybe 20 years when someone wants to re-restore this radio, reading a CD or SD card may be problematic.

I'd do as Lawrence suggest and use acid-free or similar high quality paper and either place it inside somewhere not too hot or in a plastic sleeve on the underside (though that may affect the aesthetics).

Hopefully eyes will not become technically redundant during the extended life of the radio

Bit like Dr. Who - how many times can a radio be "regenerated"?
