Philco 7050 tube tester
#1

Got this yesterday, This is how it gets when 
you have done a lot of work.
But guess what, it wants to do more.
Went over it (vary clean inside) seems good and 
is working. 
I have to put in a new glass but can you 
tell me where to find a blue oval Philco 
button. It would make it complete again

I think the only place you will be able to get one of those blue Philco emblems is off of another 7051. Hopefully your Wanted Ad will generate one, if not, perhaps the upcoming Kutztown event in May might have one at one of the booths.

I have made the four buttons out of epoxy resin and painted them the same blue.
 Now I need to find the silver PHILCO in a transfer or letter stickers and
a few coats of clear gloss lacquer. Dose anyone have
ideas on the lettering?

Don't know if these would be the right size or not ....

Radiodaze might also do a custom job for you although probably a bit pricey.

There is a person on ebay that also makes decals, you might touch base with him...here's one of his postings: https://www.ebay.com/itm/KIEL-WATER-SLID...SwlCFdUeZZ

There is decal transfer printer paper that you can try printing your own as well. I tried that once but was not very successful although I know some folks have done it.
