I tried editing the logo supplied above then found a newspaper advertisement on the internet for pilot radio. The newspaper add is a little different then the magnifier logo. Maybe they may help Chuck out. I only had access to a simple picture editor without dithering capability etc.

Very nice work! That's REAL close to the style of the decal.

I'll see what I can do with the samples that were posted. Dave A is going to try and stop by with his magnifier tomorrow I'll see if I can fit it on my scanner or if that fails try the camera route.

My magnifier is one of the smaller versions with small flange and only clips to the grille at the top. It looks like there may have been a small rectangular decal on the bottom flange.

Here's what I have so far:

I do need the over all size of the decal and spacing between the words. Also if it is on the front of the flange or on the rear. Needs to be reversed if on the rear.

I took my magnifier down and measured the ghost imagine of the original decal.

1. The decal is on the front of the flange above the bubble. Steve D.'s previous post above has a good close-up reference pic.
2. The overall length of both words is 3"
3. The height of the words is 3/16ths
4. I would say the spacing of the two words from the bottom to the "T" to bottom edge of the "R" is also about 3/16ths.

Good luck Chuck and thanks.
