Does any one out there in videokarma land have a Transvision kit with surviving decals? From reading the build manual on these I've learned that the decals were not installed at the factory meaning that they would have been applied over the finish (if applied at all). Doing some searching online pulls up a couple of pictures, but none with pictures of remaining decals. It seems that between these sets being rare, and the number of collectors who put their collections online for the rest of us to see being so small that it's a tough find. If you've got em' and you'd like to share please do.
My set is all boxed up for the move to a new house but here's a picture to share of when it arived (minus decals :))

I took these pictures of Transvision labels yesterday at the Auman Television museum.

Interesting that they're two totally different color schemes. Can you tell me which sets they came from? If the were both 7" kits was one much newer/older than the other? The other decal I'm having trouble with is the channel number indicator. Early kits only had three channel tuners but I've only seen decals with: 1-2-3-4-5-FM in a semi circle (even on sets with three channel tuners!). I'm hoping there's some remnants of decals in the ETF's collection that I'll be able to photograph this weekend for more reference.

The gold letering was a 7 inch. The black lettering was a 10 inch set.

I'm wondering if the two different colored decals were chosen to contrast with light or dark wood finishes. The gold, for example, would be hard to see on the blonde finish, as would the black on the dark wood.

I just took this picture yesterday of a blond 7" kit with what looks to be the gold lettering decal.

No channel number decal remaining on that set unfortunately.
