Incredibley nice job!! Sticker on radio knobs, nice touch! Where did you get that?

Re: 1969 Rallye Green L78 Chevelle Resto Progress

Nice work! I think you have the front floormats on the wrong sides. The one with the heel pad is for the LH.

Yes, I corrected the front floor mats.....my eyes were tired from all the black vinyl and rubber. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Jeff,

The sticker is attached when you open an NOS Radio box. I do not know of anyone offering this sticker/decal.
Perhaps a new challange for Mr. Cumby or Mr. Lightfoot https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ouguysrock.gif

Re: 1969 Rallye Green L78 Chevelle Resto Progress

Those are antenna trimmer adjustment instructions,used from 1968-73 for AM radios <u>only</u> Jeff.
They were removed from the radio,once the radio became part of the vehicle,trucks included..I've yet to see/hear any radio that was delivered with them still attached,as they hindered the buttons function,and had no use to the owner.
They told the prep tech how to trim the antenna during installation,prior to delivery.

----------ANTENNA TRIMMER ADJUSTMENT-------------
1)Tune to weak station or noise around 1400kc.
2)Remove right hand tuning and dummy knobs.
3)Adjust trimmer screw for max output.
4)Replace knobs and REMOVE THIS TAG.
5)Remove excess glue from pushbuttons with alcohol only.CAUTION:DO NOT USE LACQUER THINNER.

They measure 2-3/4" X 3/4" w/red type.
Hamptons was reproducing these,when they were in business in the 1980's.I heard Osborn was afterwards.

I have a 1969 AM radio with that sticker still on the buttons (NOS??). I need to let someone that needs one take it off my hands.
