Finished the S-14 restore this weekend, it'll join the 5-T in the collection.

I need to source the gold Hallicrafters logo each originally had in the upper right corner.?

My standard printer makes a decal too transparent and the black background washed out the yellow/gold.

RDaze does not have them listed.? Any referrals are appreciated. The gold logo would be the icing on the cake for each.

Dan - I remember buying white decal paper several years ago.? Are you using an Alps MD printer?

No, a standard inkjet from Cannon.? I also have white decal paper but it's not transparent, the white background showing in the circle and letter voids looks awful.

I only run into this issue with black chassis', the grey's and chrome and even wood cabs the decals on the clear film appear good.?

This is what I'm working with:

Your printing on white took me back to old school method.? Pasted the logo into a black square in MS Paint and used the paintbrush & pencil to fill in the white.

Then printed onto plain white copy paper.? Coated front and back with two coats of clear acrylic.?

Then, when dried, cut it out close to the gold outline, traced the edge with a black sharpie to cover the thin white edge of the paper.

(After the sealer so as not to bleed thru to the gold on front.)?? Stuck it on with tacky adhesive.

The Chief makes #26. ? Its the earlier model with the "270 degree" dial and pointer, plays real nice too.? Got a kick tuning in the BFO to hear SSB airport weather reports and operators last night.??

Thanks for the tickler that had me go back to paper.? Next, there's an SX-16 due in tomorrow.

Looks good!? I am getting ready to dig out my ALPS printer and make some decals and I think I have some gold foil ribbons so I might try this.

I have two 5-Ts , one with the later dial type, but the logo is not present (front panel has been repainted) and an unrestored 5-T Sky Buddy (Radio Boy dial) with the original Hallicrafters logo intact and it is the same white color as the lettering. It is definitely not gold colored. I can't really tell by any photos I have seen, but did the later (none boy) 5-Ts have a gold logo instead of white?

One of them , the 5T or the S14, had a faded gold emblem.? Must have been the more recently restored S14 if I began this pursuit when wrapping that one up.? Now that you mention it, the other was white faded to almost nonexistent light grey.? I can produce a white emblem but that gold one does look sharp, matches the dial and pointer nicely too.?

Thanks for the input.
