Does anyone have a spare Red silk-screened Staveley aluminium Badge to help with the restoration of a transmitter?
Thanks in advance!
Stuart

I've got a spare Futaba label if that would help?!
If nobody has a spare label, I can Photoshop a copy of my Staveley Analog when I get home.

I see...we could go fancy, how about a Kraft Signature?
- ...and yes, I have that one and it's available

Well, hopefully, a bit of a result, inasmuch, that my local print shop has said they can hot print the Staveley logo onto thin aluminium!!
It will take about a week, but hopefully will be able to share the results with you in the coming days and if it works as well as the samples I have seen, we might well have found a modern low-volume method of replicating the aluminium badges seen on so many radios of the 60's, 70's & 80's!!

You will be impressed, it's an amazing technique. I have been using it a few times not least reproducing the badge on my Kraft Signature to get dates and name correct as it was retrofitted to 2,4 GHz, remapped as it was brought from mode I to mode II
I should just have done the logo and had engraved name and date to give more life to it
Looking forward to see the outcome.
