Default GEC BC4650 receiver.

Good afternoon. I am currently renovating a GEC BC 4650. One of the many issues this radio has is it has a very poor calibration label. Does anyone have a facsimile or a scanned image?

I'd be interested too, mine has faded badly as I would imagine most have. These are nice radio's, I often use mine.

Yes mine has faded badly as well. I am going to look at scanning it in to work on it on the computer but unfortunately it is too long to fit onto an A4 scanner. I could scan it in bits but then there's the problem of printing it out.

You could photograph it but you'd need a very steady hand or, ideally, a tripod. Then you could Photoshop the image albeit a long and tedious job. Some office shops can A3 print from a memory stick. Jerry

I would definitely go down this route or create a new image.
There are enough images online to show the original format & wording.
MS Paint is a powerful tool!
