Wartime Civilian Receiver back label?

[Yorkie]

I've had a poke around on t'internet to try to find a good scan of the label from the back of a Wartime Civilian Radio, but the only one that I've managed to find in on Jon's website, which isn't a very good example. I've spent some time cleaning it up, and though it's better, it's still far from acceptable and would need much more effort to improve upon it. (See attachement).

Anyone got a better scan please?

I haven't got a better scan David, but I've downloaded the same label from Jon Evans website and when I've got a bit of spare time will see what I can do with it for you.

If anyone else wants to try, here is the original image, to save full size, right click, and then save to your computer.
I am going to try, but I am not too good at this, I also need the back label & the transfer from the top.

David has been sorted out, and no, I don't mean I've had him to the vet.

David, I missed this. If you PM me with your email (I probably have it but age defeats all) I'll send you my restored scan of the label.

Just realised that Joe has already sent you it.
Sorry!

Thanks for spotting my post Tony, and for your reply. Yes, Joe sent me it by e-mail, having earlier obtained it from you and I have to say that it's excellent - far better than the scan from Jon's site that I had a go at cleaning up, with little success. You may be pleased to know that the label is actually for 'Mark the Mender' for whom I've just made a replica back for his Wartime Civilian Receiver, having first made a router jig to make the back. I'd promised to make a back for Mark, and it's been on my 'to do list' for a while, so I wanted to beat the Golborne Swapmeet deadline to give it him, though as he won't be there, I'll pop it in the post to him.

When I've added the label to the replica back, I'll post some pics on the forum of the router jig, showing an original back and the replica that I've made by using the jig. I'm not taking orders for backs, but it might help and inspire others to make jigs for radios with non existant backs that don't often turn up on e-bay. Whatever shape the back is, they all have to start of rectangular, then cut to shape. (The WCR is rectangular anyway, so that's not an issue).

Thanks once more for the excellent label Tony!

David Could I get a copy of the label?
I just need a back for mine then.

It will come painted matt brown to look like the original and with a label attached - if I do anyone a favour I don't do half a job!

When it's finished, I'll let you have a sneak preview on the forum.

David you are a star, thank you!
could you upload a copy into the archive then?

cheers Mark
