Is Anyone Willing To Make Me A Drawing Of A BS Marquee
I got this great Graphophone BS a while back and sadly it is missing the upper part of the marquee. I could make one if only I knew the dimensions, or had a drawing to work from, or a sample to copy. I will trade a nice copy of the insert sheet (see below) that goes in it to the first person who provides the information. Russie

Thank you, for that link. Yet, I would rather go through the fun of making my own. Cheers, Russie

Re: Is Anyone Willing To Make Me A Drawing Of A BS Marquee
Thank You, Darold,
Just wanted to let you know I finally completed the marquee for the Columbia BS. Thanks to your drawing and advice, I was able to duplicate it using old oak pieces I had laying around. Here are a couple of pix.
PS. I don't know why the pictures are upside down. I tried to load them right side up, then upside down. In both tries they are still upside down.

Nice job!
New oak usually doesn't look like the old oak - either in grain or in color. I have a few pieces from old, broken furniture that I use when necessary. Your result with the old oak speaks for itself.
