Station Tabs - Automatic Tuning
#1

I finally got around to beginning work on station tab replicas for my 38-2, 37-116 and yet to be restored 37-690.

Here's the first attempt. I used the material from an old band "mask" for the plastic and doctored up a scan of a the original, also shown.

I think I still want to coat it with lacquer, polyurethane, or something. I tried to leave a gap around the decal to allow the coating to cover the decal and adjacent plastic. Didn't do so well on the top.

This was very time consuming. I need to figure out how to streamline it. Each radio has, like, 20 of them.

For the call letters I need to find a sufficiently similar font.

   

Can't think of anything witty.
