The PHILCO Phorum

I have the original labels on a 70 Cathedral on the tube shield, look very worn and one has a small piece missing in corner.
Another label is partially lifting in a corner and would have to be reglued.

Would you keep the old labels and how would you protect them from further decay ?  Contact paper maybe (yuck).

Would it be best just to scrap the old labels and use repro's ?

Whats your view on this ?

Hi and welcome,
For me it would depend on the condition of the chassis and shield. If it's a bit rusty I would keep the old label. To preserve it you could spray it with some satin clear lacquer masking off the area around the label. Use a few light coats if you use heavy coats it could make any rust more noticeable though the paper.
