Next case - Odd Philco 42-720 Tropic
#6

One thing I learned with the ink jet clear decal paper, it does not print the color white. Which worked well for me, because all of the white areas of the dial scale needed to be clear for the dial pointer to show through. But I understand the decal paper is also available in white, which may work for your scale where the numerals are in white / cream color. If you can scan and clean up / restore your scale yourself, it might be worth it to try the decal paper to save yourself some $$. When I was doing my Crosley scale, Eric Adams here suggested having a sticker made at Kinkos...put the scan on a thumb drive and have them print a reverse image on a sticker. He said it cost around $15.00 to have 3 printed (in case of screw-up).
