Decals - So Called
#1

I was pleased to find decals for my 40-190 Philco set at RadioDaze where I've purchased some good stuff through the years, but this result was disappointing.

I found their new decals to be super thin with little sticking power. After having a couple of them dissolve and wrinkle before my very eyes, I went through my old leftovers from Antique Radio Supply. Found a couple useable ones in the drawer and soaked them in water. They were probably five years old but still slid on like butter. The thickness was heavier and they stuck great.

Beware, all decals are not created equal.
