[Collins] 30L-1 emblem

Antique Electronic supply sells a lacquer stick that can also be used on 
Collins emblems. You just "wipe/rub" it on and then use a cloth to wipe off 
the raised areas. Works great.

I have two red sticks that I purchased several years ago, same part #. One 
is the red-orange that you normally see on the Collins emblems and the 
other is a slightly more darker red. The darker was purchased after the 
red-orange one so I'm not sure if the new ones will be the earlier color. 
The color is very close on both. Not sure how it would work on larger areas 
but it works great on the winged emblems.

I use the white version for touching up the knobs and dials, which it what 
it was designed for. Can't be beat and makes them look brand new.
