The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I would like to announce the opening of my new website, Phonodecal.com. For several years I have been making and selling decals for the restoration of Antique Phonographs and Music Boxes. I finally have a website to make ordering easier. All of the products are on the site and there is a shopping cart function and secure check out through PayPal. Please click the link below and check it out. I welcome any questions or comments! Thanks Gregg Cline

They are excellent decals, I can vouch for that.

Would you please consider to make decals of the "Writing Angel" trade mark. These are much in demand over here. Original size of the pattern is 1,25 inch:

I noticed the decals with the filigree patterns for the back brackets of the various external horn models... whenever I've seen those back brackets restored, I've always thought that those decorative gold patterns had been (re)painted. is the more common work just by way of a decal? or are they more often touched up with actual paint?

Some of the back brackets were originally hand painted and some were a decal. I have seen restorations done each way. My bracket sets copy originals and look original when installed and top coated with lacquer.

I've seen some of them applied. I would agree. They look fantastic.

I think there would be a demand from HMV collectors for the versions of the later HMV decals

I wish someone would make the oval Tea Tray Company "TcT" decal. Those are common horns and we know horns need repainting if you get a cheap rusty one. Even a new reproduction horn needs painting and a decal.

I'd like to second Starkton's message above. That is the best graphic of it I've seen, Starkton and my machine is missing the original.

Thanks for making such a wonderful service available. I'm sure I will be ordering a lot!
