The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Does someone know about someone doing such work, or how to possiblly do it yourself? I accidentally, and very stupidly, destroyed the print on a beautiful Triumphon ivorine plaque, while restoring the cabinet of a horn model. I spilled Swarfega on the plaque while cleaning the wood cabinet, and it immediately wiped out the majority of the print. Luckily I however have a photo of the print, before it was destroyed. The photo shows the plaque as it originally looked before the print was destroyed. It really was beautiful.

I think Gregg Cline at Phonodecal could do it: he helped me when I accidentally erased the dealer tag on my Triumph.

You might ask around to see if anyone has a Triumphon with a pristine plaque, and have them send a good photo: a good imaging app could clean up the background grain, etc. for a nice, high contrast B/W picture to copy. Hope that helps.
