Ron Ramirez Wrote:I just barely put the chemicals over the PHILCO decal, expecting it to melt away. I was very happy when it didn't! So that portion of the finish is sort of original, with new lacquer over the top of it.

Is there a known working ethod to purposely protect vintage decals when they are good but the radio needs refinish?

I am thinking they did a good job on placing the logo on an exposed but not easily damaged area and most radios needing refinish might have a still good logo decal. In any case, mine it. It would be a shame to replace a perfect logo with sub-par replica just because somewhere else on the radio isn't in great shape.
