At the top of the page there's a good image of the logo, maybe you could
copy it?

It's an Italian ham receiver from the 60s I think, 12 American tubes,
double conversion, well made. It followed me home from the Belton
hamfest. Right now it's on the Variac to see if it works. It looks very
good but has a crack in the dial cover and needs a Geloso logo disc for
the dial. Does anyone know of any source of parts? This is the only one
I've ever seen.
Thanks

Wow, neat.

Thankies.

I didn't mention it but the G.212-TR came along for the ride. It's AM,
CW only but the Rx has a product detector. The serial numbers on both
are in the low 2000s so there must have been a few made. I wonder if
many made it to the USA or still exist? The Tx has a good logo badge,
it looks like it clear cast plastic with lettering that's relieved and
gold filled. I've uploaded some pics to

Handsome looking set. I have a Geloso VFO N.I.B. that I picked up
a while back for a homebrew CW transmitter project I'll get around
to doing someday Let us know how it plays when you fire it up.

Serial numbers often start at arbitrary values, I'm not sure why, but
some manufactures seem to like to hide production numbers.

Its simple. it is done to keep your competition from knowing your
real market share, and the uninformed to think you were more popular in
your market. OTOH, I have seen single & double digit serial numbers on
equipment, including a RGB video switcher for a DEC minicomputer with
serial # 00001. Ch 55 in Orlando had serial #16 LaCart Video Automation
system at their transmitter site when I worked there, 20 years ago.
