Our Strat has 2 signatures on the bracket that holds the dial:

   


   

I preserved both of the names which was difficult due to the level of restoration required.

I have found several other examples on less notable radios, though some may have been added by owners or techs.

The example below is the one I find most interesting. The radio was signed by the designer of the XB-70 Valkyrie bomber and the B-1B Lancer. Be sure not to miss the notes at the bottom of the post:

Note the signature on the B1-B plans (above).
