Hi Guys! I was looking at photos of sets like my Zenith 12A58 and noticed that none of them have gold lettering for knob function (like on-off, volume, etc.). Were radios released like this or has refinishing caused them to disappear? Or perhaps did some higher end sets leave out lettering? Curious. I know there are some good sources for repro decals. Question: Can these decals be affixed AFTER restoration, that is on top of the finish?
