[Hallicrafters] Make Your Own Decals - Cleaning dials and Reproductions

[Bill Marx]

I posted this a few days ago and wondered why no one made comment.

Make your own decals. I made one for an SP-600. They work!

You make what you want using some program and then simply print it out on
your Inkjet Printer on their paper. Or you can do as I did and photograph
the item before stripping it and then convert it and print it out on their
decal paper. It wont work for everything but it worked for me.
