Phoenix Gold Phorum

How does this look? Just about exact eh?

working on logo now.

You're going to need wayyyy higher resolution than that for it to print without artifacts.

no no no... i hear ya, but i have it in vector in AI CS3,
I merely saved it as a jpg for review on the web.
know what i mean?
I did it by hand in AI, and saved for web devices... so the res is low that youre looking at now...but i could make it 6' long if i needed or wanted to.

did all the work and research to determine what the fonts were called, downloaded them and made it up to size on/off the cover itself. measures 10" long as it is exactly on the cover.

do you have spell check? might wanna check that

now that you are correct sir... looks like i need to change that-

<DONE!>

font looks very OEM though, very nice

its 3 different fonts....

i wonder if companies do this to make it difficult to imitate or replicate...?

i mean it took me some time to figure out and TBH not even sure if they are exact exact, but looks close enough for me for a restoration job of a 20 yr old amp... i dunno...

we'll see whence it''s on the amp.

so now after that rte 66 contest (grats to ttocs)

question is now
when i do an OEM restore...

what do you guys say/think/feel

should i even be consistent with the slight errors, typo's or inconsistencies i see/find when doing these OEM restores...or if i see a blatant typo or whatever should i fix it for the restoration???

WSYG?

Well if it is a true OEM restore, then I say you make it as exactly as the original as possible, including "errors" or "flaws".

I compare it to restoring a muscle car. If it is a true restoration, you put back all the original parts as they were when it was new. No adding disc brakes or upgrading the stereo or suspension. If you make changes, I do not consider it a true restoration, in the sense and meaning of the word.

Resto-mod would be more like it.


Just my $.02USD

just like he said if/when I buy one I want it as orignal as possible.

interesting.. i would have thought ppl would like to have typo's and the like corrected...
guess i would have to do it on a case by case basis... i dunno. interesting though.. i kinda feel just the opposite- i would like to have real words used, and no inconsistencies if i could help it on a restore- BUT do understand the purist's POV, and like to have it just the way it was. so i can see both sides.

I would like my 66 incorrect just like the original. Are you ready to receive your first order yet?

^^^^
1st order?
well okay- i'll bite!

not sure if it is technically the 1st...but i will make it the first for this hour- good'nuff?

I am not really worried about being first. I would really like to get me 66 tightened up though. Where can I send it?

thats cool- got two guys from D-town! neat!
maybe combined shipping ???
JK


ANYWHO

uh you might could try sending it to Khameleon Koatings in Brattleboro VT

PM sent

Matt, sent you a PM with a picture.

I wouldn't mind combine shipping.

It would give me a chance to go see his amps.
