Philco 40-180 station call letter tabs
#1

hi! i'm new to the world of radio restoration, and am in the process of getting a 40-180 up and running again. it seems all parts are fairly easy to locate, except the call letter tabs. i have found a site that sells sheets of 300 stations (who needs that many) but no television or dial tabs. can anybody point me in the direction of a site that sells tabs sheets with a reasonable amount of stations and includes the television and dial tabs. thanks for any help.

Oilchangeguy,

If you have a color printer with your computer, try using the "Paint" program to make your own. Set up a brown field and type in the call letters you want using a white font. This may take some experimentation, but the price will be right! Icon_biggrin

It's a pretty easy process...just play around until you get the results you like. Good luck!
