Hi All -
I picked up a Victor outside horn machine that is in need of a lot of help. As a result I need decals for the back bracket and the horn. I see a lot on Ebay and other sources, but it is really difficult to see the quality of the decal from the picture provided. So I would like to ask the collective for opinions of who has the best quality decal. Not looking for the cheapest, but the BEST!
TIA,
Mark

Re: Decals for restoration
I think you'll find that everyone here buys from one of the following:
1) Gregg Cline,
2) Gregg Cline, or
3) Gregg Cline.
Gregg is a board member. His website is phonodecal.com. I'm sure he'll have what you need, but he also makes custom decals.

Interesting choices, but I prefer Gregg Cline.

Re: Decals for restoration
There is no doubt about it.
Out of all the options suggested, I would go for Gregg Cline.

And what Gregg Cline doesn't have (which admittedly isn't too much) Eduardo from Peru (the wooden horn guy) does, and they are very nice too.

Re: Decals for restoration
I am a huge fan of Eduardo from Peru. I have used his and Gregs and find Eduardos to be superior in quality. The downside is the 4-5 week wait to receive them. Eduardos decals do not need to be sealed either due to the type of ink he uses. Just my opinion.

Re: Decals for restoration
And... that's fine. I just follow the credo of "shop local first", even if I can find the same thing cheaper far away. I do this in my auto restoration biz, too. I appreciate local and USA vendors and try to support them first whenever possible. It's just a personal thing with me.hearsedriver wrote:I am a huge fan of Eduardo from Peru.

Re: Decals for restoration
Will the real Gregg Cline, please stand up!!!
Seriously, Gregg's decals are spot on. They are easy to apply, and look so realistic. Some of the decals have an aged look. You have too look very close to the machine to see if it is an original, or a Gregg Cline decal. I have been fooled a few times. Eduardo from Peru, makes good decals, too. He sells decal that Gregg Cline doesn't carry.
