    Re: "Very Vintage Altec Speaker"?

    Agreed. We could get some made as a group buy.

    Does he do just vinyl or the old water-slide type decals? We'd have to decide what we want. I'm in if there is a G.B. I'd prefer the old water-slide type.

    Anything and everything ! And his work is Top-Notch.Put it this way Pano you won't be able to tell the difference they are that good..

    Here's some stuff from Rudy's eBay store. http://www.ebay.com/sch/sign--shop/m...&_trksid=p3686

    But to be accurate we would need the dimensions of the decal so he can make to scale.Does anyone here have a cab with that decal ?

    OK guys I sent Rudy an email and he said to post it.He already has them made.Here is his reply to my email.

    Thank you for the email. Nice to hear from you.

    YES I do make the small gold/black Altec cabinet labels.
    Actually I make about all labels and foilcals

    I do pressure sensitive 1 mm thick. You can spray or brush a clear coat on the top, if you want to.

    I shipped a #100 to Russia, and #50 to a dealer in California.

    Please let me know....
    Please post.

    Regards, r.j


    These came on the Melodist,820A,605A,612's,and maybe a couple other Altec cabs but all from the 40's to the early 60's I think.Not 100% sure..

    Does anyone have a nice, clean file of that? Maybe Todd does? I can work on cleaning it up in Photoshop to make it print ready (I used to be a printer). Be nice to know if there is a reference color for the letters, Pantone or other. Also, how big should it be?

    EDIT: Oops! Sorry, I missed the posts above.

    Glad to hear they're 1mm thick, they'll be easy to spot!!! I'm with Pano on the water slide type decals.

    Looks like AB's buddy also does some JBL water-slide style. Maybe we can get him to do them for us. If not, there's a fellow in Alabama who does custom guitar decals. We could ask him.

    Yes they look a bit different.They must be hard to produce otherwise they would have been made already I a reckon.

    He has them already but they aren't exact IMHO... Take a look for comparison.The bottom part of the C looks off.
