The new Philco decals from Radio Daze look great but beware when trying to install them. They are SO delicate you have to be EXTREMELY steady when applying them or they will tear or fold over. Also, you may wish to clear coat over them, as (I found out the hard way) the gold lettering will rub off with just the slightest touch! I had to remove the chassis from my 47-1230 one more time and trying to remove the knobs, as delicate as I was, I still managed to rub off the volume decal... grrr! These decals are a LOT thinner than the one's previously available on the white colored paper (these are on light blue paper). Not criticizing by no means (they are an improvement in accuracy), just wanting to forewarn fellow collectors / restorers :-)
