BESTAR RR-1500 Jumbo.

[deech]

This looks better than new Deech! You must have some steady hands, painting with that stencil!

Beautiful work!!!!

Geoff thanks. it took me more than 2 hours for both grills and at first i was experimenting with all letters.
Spraypainting isnt working because you are loosing the lettering with all these tiny holes.It needs a very soft brush
and careful delicate moves with the stencil glued tight at the grills.
my hands were steady in the beginning but slowly i started shaking because this is a very detailed work trying not to loose the line ,
i will retouch them by tomorrow and get a closer pic.
i Might use the stencils on other projects too !!

Like Reli said the charmness is in the original .

deech check the pm im about to send you

Old people wear shorts just as often as young people. Around here at least.

Now, if they're short-shorts from the 80s, that's different.

Anyways, I wonder if the best solution for this is to print the stencil on a decal. But the adhesive on the decal would need to be light to prevent it from damaging the paint when you take it off.

short shorts Reli lol

It looks better without that tacky writing Deech lad. congrats bro

There are people that know my obsession with boomboxes
so yesterday i received a message from one of my contacts
to get a very big Taiwanese black boombox.
He was describing it to me but i wasnt sure what to expect.
This is what i got !

Tape Deck B is missing the pause button and the previous owner blacked the '' SUPER WOOFER'' written on both
speaker grills. Any idea on how to restore Original Writing in yellow is highly appreciated !

Back in 2017 i had found this exact same model

This thread marks a Copernican revolution for me, who never before attempted to restore a box, so please pay attention. Better: double your attention, because for this achievement I cannot thank enough Chris, aka Lasonic TRC-920, who last week took a long trip to help me save a box out of two...

This is my Giant-HK900 . The left and right bottom grilles I made , they hold cassettes in box on one side, cassettes no box on other side. Never did restencil the bottom grilles, it sounds great with the lower subs but the 326 super watts is annoying!

 

[deech]

Here it is again with the retouch.

Stynger I love this HK-900 of yours. The 326 Watts is the icing on the cake .

 

[Reli]

Deech does that have reel tape graphics printed inside the tape compartments?

 

[deech]

Yes Reli the reels are printed in a metallic surface.

 

[Reli]

That's a great idea! Wonder why the other brands didn't think of that. I think I've seen it only once or twice.
