I finally finished up the cassette door sticker for the RC-550. I know the wife is happy about it! Anyway, there will be two versions available - one for JVC and the other for Victor (for those with the Japanese version). I'll talk with my printer tomorrow about getting them printed on vinyl static-cling material. I'm hoping to keep the price point around $5 USD. Paper posters are another option I'm thinking of. There's some detail that won't really be noticeable unless it's enlarged quite a bit. Anyway, if anyone is interested, just let me know!

Here is a pic of the original that LLopez sent me:

Thanks guys! I talked with my printer lady tonight and gave her a heads up on what I wanted. I'll be sending over the files tomorrow, but I don't know how long it'll take to get everything back. I'll be ordering 50 of each to start off.

Here's a little tidbit for all the Photoshoppers out there - the RC-550 sticker is comprised of approximately 84 layers! My 7 year old daughter, Emily, is trying to learn Photoshop and she just about flipped when she saw all those layers.

Those look awesome Bob!!!
And lots of work , these should take off no doubt !!!
Are you going to do any C-100 and M-90 Tape door clings as well ?

Thanks
Frank

please put me in there for the exact same as TA -
plus 2 of the JVC550 stickers -- so six total -thanks

I just might take the bate on the RC-550 stickers - I'll want one to affix to the machine itself, and possibly a second one (no guarantees here) to display elsewhere.

I won't have any $$$ for a week or so; then I'll be fair game.

Welcome The_LED_Museum.

If your wondering what they look like look at my post thanking fatdog for the stickers.
RC-550 stickers

Ah dude!

Great work! Again!!!

Now all I need is one of these boxes to put the sticker on!

Hey... so everyone who is into original cassette door stickers know, there is a Sharp GF-8787 if I remember the number correctly. Just up on ebay tonight (U.S.A.), with its original cassette door sticker! Id never seen one before... Check it out!

Here's a link for the lazy:

That's a sweet cling/sticker! Does anyone have a better image of it?

I will if I win it!

Im not going to go crazy... Thanks for the link!

Yes... I see why you enlarged the dial shot, VU on the wrong side! What happened?



??????????????????, What the frick am I talking about??????????? The VU is on the correct side!!!!!!!!!

I HAVE BEEN TO FAR FROM MY COLLECTION FOR TOO LONG!!!!!!!!!!!



So, why did you show a close up of the dial area?????? Hummmm???

Looks like Bredgeo is having withdrawals!

I posted a close-up of the VU area to show that there is way more detail than what you could see in my smaller sample images. It actually has a true RC-550 VU meter instead of just a needle in a grey square (like the original). Also, the needle on the original is pointing to the far left, indicating extremely low volume or no power. I "fixed" that. Now the needle indicates that the boombox is actually boomin' - as portrayed by the "lightning bolts".

As a plus, all five radio bands are present. The original only had three.
