Hello Brothers of the Glow,

I am restoring some Hallicrafters dials that have experienced damage to the
silkscreening of the numerals and the slide-rule line. I've successfully
re-lined the dials and added the tick marks but I am needing rub on letters
that are approximately 0.046-inch (3/64-inch) tall. The smallest black rub
on lettering I have been able to find is 2.5 mm high which is too large to
match the other numerals on the dial.

Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

I *HIGHLY* recommend you check out Pulsarhttp://www.pulsarprofx.com/

I've personally used this technique to recreate silkscreen labels. *You
cannot tell this from the real silkscreen process. *There is about a
$50-$100 initial outlay. *If you can find a used laminator, you can save
most of that cost. *The technique takes a little practice but it is well
worth it if you treasure your old radios. *There is a short video on the
site that demonstrates the technique. *This guy has come up with a
process where you laser print (ink jet will not work) onto a special
paper. *Then the text/image is transferred to a clear mylar 'carrier'.
Following that the image is finally transferred to wherever it is meant
to go. *You can do ALL colors, even WHITE. *Anyway, give it a try.

I've got an HQ-180 that needs some work so I think I will give it a
try.

There seems to be a problem with their email as it does not work!
