This last Thursday made a week since I had applied shellac, so I had finally waited long enough to apply the decals. However, I had the monthly meeting for the Heartland Antique Radio Association after work on Thursday. Friday evening we were entertaining family, and I simply didn't get around to it yesterday. Today I set out to get the labels applied, and I did it. Here we are:
Additionally, I've been speaking with someone on eBay about speaker fabric. They ended up helping me find a better match to the original:
I ordered it yesterday, and it will probably ship out tomorrow. It's still not an exact match, but I think it won't be that big a deal since it is behind the wood slats on the pull-out turntable door. I think this lighter color will be better.
