I'm about to start work on a Westinghouse WR222 that I got from a forum member here. It was refinished when he got it, and it was done very poorly. The decals are all missing on the cabinet, and it looks like whoever did it simply put a heavy layer of lacquer on it (you can see all kinds of white marks from where it was subjected to moisture when drying on the cabinet) and let it be at that.

I'll start a separate thread on the cabinet itself later, but for now, does anyone know where I can find the appropriate decals for Tone (Music-Speech), On/Off-Volume, Tuning, and Police/Broadcast?


Thanks all. :D

Anyone? :(

Even just a site that had a good selection of them, so I could pick and choose. I'd like them to be reproductions of the originals, but since this isn't a rare set, I suppose I could use "close enough" ones if I had no luck. I just want (myself and others) to be able to know what knob does what. :D

Radiodaze has a lot of decals. I have used them before and they look good if applied correctly.

Perfect! The "generic" ones should do the trick nicely.

Thanks!
