I am restoring one of these AP185 back to original. There seems to be different positions for the Treble Cleft Emerson logo. The black and white photo shows it between knobs. Modern color photos show it above the dial scale.
I suspect restorers placed a new decal in the wrong position.
Also do the knobs originally have function decals between the red pin strip lines?
I would appreciate if some one has original advertising materials or brochures could verify proper decal positions and labels.
You can see my project radio at this link.
Thank you,
Paul
