How to protect labels and keep old ones ?
#1

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.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

Those are details better left to the ones who know. Maybe you disconnected the wrong end of the wire.RodB — 06:22 PM
