    Pano, Is there any way to increase the contrast between the brown wood and black lines in the photo you posted? If so I should be able to fix up the line drawing to match.

    Definitely water slide. With a jewelers loupe, I can see the edges of the film where it is chipped away.

    Is two color silkscreen like that even possible?

    With a registration system it is. Mainly on flat surfaces though.

    Try drawing just the Yellow part and then add a stroke on them and keep upping the stroke thickness till it's right.

    Here's one with a white background. Lost most of the black outline though. Needs a bit of pixel by pixel cleanup but good for an idea.altecdecalwht.jpg

    What I’m seeing is that the photographs are slightly distorted. Unless someone can get a dead square and centered photo we will be dealing with that. It might be best to pick a scan that looks right. Looking back through literature scans it seem that logo evolved over time. The version I posted originally is from the 49 catalog. The logo in the 45 duplex catalog looks closer to me but to tell the truth I never really noticed a difference before.

    Does look like there were some changes. The version Old Guy posted is nice. OG, got a larger version of that?

    That was an actual size scan from a piece of lit, from around 1950. Unfortunately didn't have access to my home scanner had to do it on theirs. A re-sample starts to look pretty crappy.

    here is a place to get water decal paper. Wondering how a color laser at FedEx Kinko's could do?
