water slide decals

Post by phonoman-antique »

I find the Edison water slide decals on Ebay are rather expensive.
Know anyone who sells at a good price ?

Is price your only consideration? There is a huge range of quality with transfers. Most banner transfers are so bad you can tell it's reproducer from across the room. A Gregg Cline banner decal is nearly impossible to discern with the naked eye. I believe Gregg's decals are only available from him. Jerry Blais

I recently purchased an Edison signature transfer for my Amberola 50 from eBay seller stemo3. This was repeat business, as I was happy with the one which I purchased some years ago for my Amberola 30.

The cost was £6.07($9.75) plus postage £0.62($1.00). Given that these are old stock items, supplies of which are finite, I thought the price reasonable.

When carefully applied over the ghostly outline of the original, the replica transfer looks very convincing.
