I think the "Deluxe" should be fairly easy to find because it was common on bw models as well. I would assume they would be the same. I bet someone out there has parted one out and saved that. The 'v' might have been used on something bw too but I don't know. Is it just a plain 'v' or the one that has color bars on it?

Thanks Vintage,

I discovered I have a set that has the Deluxe emblem on it that I can remove and duplicate.

In order to duplicate the "V" chevron below the RCA Victor emblem, I would need to borrow the actual emblem to make the mold.

The process is to place the actual item between 2 5/8" thick slabs of unvulcanized rubber. The slabs are then placed in a mold frame and vulcanized at 350 degrees for 2 hours in a hydraulic vulcanizing press. When the process if finished, the 2 slabs of vulcanized rubber are seperated, the original part is removed, and an impression of the actual part is left in the rubber. Runners are then cut into the mold to allow pouring the molten metal into the cavity that was left where the original part used to be..

Quite simple actually, if you have the correct equipment. AS I said in my earlier post the process of making the mold is non destructive to the original part. We make molds every day of original sculpted art made by our staff artist who scuplts the original in tooling epoxy. You can mold almost anything as long as it will withstand 350 degrees of heat and not melt.

Thanks Vintage,
Let me know if we can work something out.
