Re: [AMRadio] decals (2M AM)
Bob and Bob, Just got off the ARRL website, the band from 145.500 to 145.800 is listed as misc. and experimental modes. Seem AM would fit in here? Hmm, a pair of 6146's mod. by a pair?? Sounds fun!! Speaking of 2 meters, last weekend I built up a balanced- line tuner for 144Mhz, fired up the D.C. to Daylight Ricebox, and My first QSO was with Raphael(XE2OR) for real DX! I'm talking about loading up the same 80M. loop at 33 feet that I use on 75M. A.M.phone! Also talked to several Houston area Hams abt. 200 Mi. from here. Fire up those old Boatanchors, I'll listen in that band. 73 es CUL de AD5HR Jon --- On Wed, 7/29/09, RICHARD GEORGE k6...@msn.com wrote: From: RICHARD GEORGE k6...@msn.com Subject: Re: [AMRadio] decals To: Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service amradio@mailman.qth.net Date: Wednesday, July 29, 2009, 1:36 PM If someone has decals for gonset stuff I sure would like to find him.

Re: [AMRadio] decals
Dick, You need to beg, borrow, or gain access to (and I realize this is quite esoteric) an ALPS MD 1000 or MD 5000 dye sublimation printer. Those printers are the only ones I know of that can print white (a plethora of other colors, too). They'll print on anything, including water-slide decal film. Failing that, Google custom decals and model railroad and I'll bet a shiny new dime you'll find someone who can do it for you. regards, Mahlon - K4OQ -- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2009 21:01:38 -0700 From: RICHARD GEORGE k6...@msn.com Subject: [AMRadio] decals To: Old Tube Radios boatanch...@theporch.com, amlist amradio@mailman.qth.net, gonsetar...@yahoogroups.com Message-ID: bay103-ds5b6b77935ee6bbea604d8f5...@phx.gbl Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 I'm restoring some old Gonset gear and need to replace some of the worn white lettering that has seen better days.

Re: [AMRadio] decals
Dick I'm afraid that the days of radio nomenclature decals are long gone just like my youth.I am however working (when I get a frikkin' chance) on a project called Frankenmitter (813 rig out of '55 handbook with a Flex-1000 SDR for the VFO and receiver) and bought some dry transfer letter sets from a local art supply to lable the panels with. I made a template to align the lettering and dial scales in CAD and printed the templates onto overhead projector type transparent sheets. I aligned the templates over on the panel and taped then on one or two edges then slid the dry transfer sheet under the template until the letters on the template and on the dry transfer sheet lined up. I then flipped the template up and rubbed the dry transfer letters onto the panel. It's a one letter at a time chore, but if it's worth doing, it's worth over doing. After all the lettering was done, I sprayed the panel with several thin coats of matte fixative to protect the lettering. BTW I had painted the panels with wrinkle paint, and lettering went on just fine.

Re: [AMRadio] decals
I used rub on transfer letters on the bottom two panels, everything on the back of each of three chassis and on the top of each chassis. I had to cut up some of the words picking out three of four letters from other words to run together for what I wanted on the panels. Worked just great. You can see the results on my restore Globe King 500A. Just go to qrz.com, my call and click on the pix in upper right hand corner. I was very well satisfied. Other option, I discovered after doing all this work, was I could have take the panels to a GOOD screen print shop. They can shoot a pix of what you have, match up the letter font and style and erase and overlay the lettering and any logos and simply silkscreen the front panel. They told me they would do it for 125 bucks. I wish I had talked to them first. But everything turned out great but took me some time to do the panels by hand. I would have glady paid them for the work, but the suggestion from them came after the fact. Van, K7VS -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.
