37/38 Station Call Letter Tab Trivia
#1

I noticed that my 37-690 has two different styles of station call letter tabs. One has a single copy of the call letters and the other has two smaller copies one upside down from the other. I presume this is for those who have good vision but can't easily read upside down text Icon_biggrin

Would the 37-690 have shipped with the two styles (seems tacky)?

I know they sold packages of the tabs but where there "regional" assortments with big, nation wide stations thrown in?

My 38-2 has the dual call letter tab version but they are filthy and darkened to the point of being useless.

I have some dial material and plan to make some new ones by printing on clear decal sheets and lacquering over top after application. I'm leaning toward making the single call letter version. They are easier to make and to read... Any opinions?

Can't think of anything witty.
