[Boatanchors] Engraved Lettering

Thu, 11 Mar 2004 19:45:00 -0500

HI Roger,
    Take a look at what I did on an SP-600 & a BC-779.  I used acrylic
artist's paint, and squeeged it in with a small pice of neoprene.  The
BC-779's on The Hammarlund Historian site:
http://www.hammarlund.info/SP200.htm
and the SP-600's on my own site:
http://www.thecompendium.net/radio/sp600.htm
scroll down about half way.
    It's not hard at all, comes out real nice.  Much easier than trying to
do it with a brush.
