Ebay magnifier for sale but you have to also buy the TV. You should be able to resell the TV pretty easily without the magnifier

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.

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. Chuck

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. Chuck

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.

I have print ready artwork finished, I need to know if the color is metallic gold or just a golden color. Metallic gold will be bright, the printer will use a metal foil to print the color.
This is actual size, you should be able to print it and cut it out to see how it fits on the flange. Let me know if the size needs to be corrected. Chuck

I would say just a golden color would be best as long as it has the black outline. I looked at the link and the height looks quite a bit bigger than 3/16th's, which it must be, as well as the overall length being 3" max. Last edited by decojoe67; 10-22-2017 at 09:35 PM. |

I guess there's not much interest in the decal Chuck Supposedly there's not a whole lot of the "deluxe" lenses around, but it would've been great to have the decal available.
Thanks for your efforts anyway. |

It's a nice job on the artwork, it's hard to find someone who can print gold though.
The lack of actual magnifiers is probably the biggest reason for lack of interest. I have three Pilots and zero magnifiers. |
