RADIO OFF decal

[cranetruck]

Anybody have a good copy of this decal? Either an actual one or a good scan will do.
Thanks and Happy New Year!

Rick Larsen has these for sale on his website, kinda similar:

Hi Bjorn,
I've been busy with work and building the house so getting on the SS site has been sporadic at best.

Are you looking for the circular one that has the "OFF" at 12:00 position and "ON" at the 2:00 position?

I can make one for you if you give me the inside and outside diameters of the decal.
If you need the one above it stating "WARNING - DO NOT START VEHICLE WHILE RADIO IS ON", give me the dimensions and I can make that as well.

Also, is it a black background with white lettering?

Thanks Gary, that's the reason for this thread, to find out what it looks like in real life (the radio off decal). I'll let you know when something developes.

 

[Polverone]

Ok good. I will try and keep up on this one along with you. Looks to be very simple to make with dimensions and colors.

Guess this decal isn't used much.....

I have several original copies of the above that I kept from my Army days. They are marked DA Label 132 1Jan80 They are red in color with silver lettering and a silver border

That's it! Is there any chance you can scan it and/or provide some dimensions to go by? It certainly would be appreciated and Gary can perhaps make additional labels for many of us.
Where is the "DA Label 132" located on the label?

Hi Bjorn
I have no way to scan it. If you send me a PM with your address I will send you one

Bjorn,
Send me a good high quality scan of this decal and size I'll make them up.

 

[cranetruck]

PM sent Fred.
Will do, Gary. Thank you both!

Received the decal from Fred today, much appreciated!

Here it is and it's 1.5 x 3.0 inches in size.
Marking below frame reads: DA LABEL 132, 1 JAN 80 PREV. ED. WILL BE USED

Gary, let me know if this is good enough for you to work with.
Thanks

Bjorn,
Yes, I can work with this. Is the "gray" a metallic gray or pastel gray?
The color(s) may be off a bit without having it right here for comparison but it will be close.

I'll work on this and the 5 ton air cleaner ones next week after I get back from Mammoth, Ca.

Bjorn,

It's more of a metallic gray.

 

[Polverone]

It's more of a metallic gray.

Ouch, that is what I was afraid of. I have to use a specialty vinyl that can be printed on.
I checked the supply catalog and what I could find runs about $1.15/sq foot my cost. Minimum order is 24 sq feet

I'll check with them when they are open and see what we can do, get, use.

The only good thing is that it will be used inside so we may be able to cut some corner.

 

[cranetruck]

Gary, I don't think it matters that much, based on the popularity of this thread, the quantity would be minimal...

Well I finally got these done for those interested. Made the original red one and also a model in yellow as that seems to be what most Caution/Warning decals are based on. Photo of each below.

I will be sending PM's to those interested.

OPCOM - If you read this I know you are a big radio fancier and knowledge base. Do you know what application or vehicles these were in? Any knowledge you can share would be well received. Thanks in advance.
