PHILCO Font

Ron, I don't think anyone is trying to undo all the hard work you did. When there is a commercially available, and correctly formatted PHILCO logo and lettering decal its (in my opinion) preferable to buy them so the restoration is a) correct and b) we encourage the commercial vendor to continue to provide the product. I started down the "find the font" path when I thought I needed to make a decal that wasn't commercially available. I used the "PHILCO" logo as the comparison tool to see how well the fonts matched because the logo is the most recognizable lettering. If you can get that comparison to be close, then the other lettering like "Phono," "Radio," "Volume" etc., should turn out close enough for most purposes. Phortunately a kind phorum member phound a commercial decal for my current project, but I don't think one is available for AWC's project. As I mentioned earlier, I appreciate your expertise and hard work. I also appreciate AWC's enthusiasm and design skill in trying to provide a potential solution.
