The Engraved Script on Victrola #2 heads?

Post by PeteLeoni »

Is it supposed to be an off white/gold-ish tint like *this photo* or should it be closer to a brighter white?

It's supposed to be like the photo. Almost an orange.

Thanks, Almost messed up and did an off white. That's one of 4 I rebuilt, and they were all that orangey looking, I thought maybe the paint had yellowed on all.

Paramount to me if (not the customer) is keeping it original. This one was rusty so I mixed up some acrylic paint to match it. I hope I got the turntable felt the right color as well. If there is a right color.
