    Re: "Very Vintage Altec Speaker"?

    OK, thanks. I had a quick stab at cleaning it up and turning it into a vector file, but as you say, bigger it starts to get sloppy. Too bad, it would be an ideal to work from. Maybe some else will have better luck than I.

    I started on a font hunt today and found a really nice virus, wiped my ass clean. >: ( The font "Bicycle" was really close to what were looking for.

    Re: Altec Decals - Group Buy

    FWIW I think there are 3 or 4 different variations of this decal through the years. Subtle differences maybe different printing Co. through Altecs history.

    Here's a couple ! Just missing the R trademark circle.. On these catalog pages.

    Look at the difference between these two, one from 1945 and the latter 1949.

    51

    And the latter page from 1949.

    52

    And here is a decal I saved from an 820 cabinet on eBay.Notice the differences between GM's 820 picture and my 820 picture.This may create some confusion they are all not the same decal guys.Some are Gold and Black and others Silver and Black.And the same one blown up.These should help...

    I think I am getting closer to the common decal. Any thoughts on this? http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...Alteclogo7.jpg

    Regarding the style to purchase... I like the true metallic gold version. My thoughts before this group buy came up was to cut a glue mask and use gold leaf with a waterslide decal of the outline over the top.
