Homebrew RX restoration project
 
I've bought a 30s vintage homebrew ham receiver that I plan
to restore. It's really nicely built with the exception of not having
any decent labeling of the front panel controls.
I seem to remember seeing ads in 30s QST and such for the little
metal tags with function names on them for use on home built radios.
Does anyone know of a source for these old tags, OR does anyone
have a stash of them in their junk box???

Right now all it has for control tags are old style Dymo labels.
I need tags for; Volume/AF Gain, RF Gain, CW Osc, Power, H.V. On/Stand
By-Operate, Crystal Filter, Headphones. Or variations of these.

I've started a web page to document the restoration project, check it
out
if you're interested.

Homebrew RX restoration project
 

Since I started this project I've been posting notes about it to
various
email groups.
In an effort not not to annoy those that are not interested in what
I'm
doing,
I decided to created a new web page, a project notebook of sorts.

I have included all the main messages I have sent so far via email
with
the dates sent.
When I add a new entry I will post it to the top of the page so it's
not
necessary to go to the bottom to see the latest addition.
Here is a link to the notebook page,
http://radioheaven.homestead.com/HBRXnotebook.html
There will also be link on both of the other project pages.

So now all you have to do to see what's the latest on the project
is just go to the project notebook page.

Thanks bunch for everyone's support and suggestions.

73, W4Ron
