I have two radios sets that need new stencilling.... anyone have ideas?
I've been web surfing and can find what I'd need...
Big thanks!

Best source would be the TM for that radio set.

The GRC and VRC radio cases were not stenciled.Modification Work Order numbers(MWO)were stamped on.

Lyle didn't really describe exactly what he needs very well so I could be wrong, but thought he was asking about what I know as the white painted silk-screen labels (a.k.a. "stencils") on the front panel around the knobs, cable connectors, and control indicators?
Maybe he could post a photo.
I have the TM for the VRC-8, 9, and 10 radios and those labels are fairly clearly illustrated.
How they could be duplicated I have no clue, but think there's probably folks out there who restore and maintain vintage military radios that would know?

Again going back to the TM for the RT-70 TM 11-290:
Here's fig 1:
Lyle, This is the only stencilling I see which is on the radio's face panel. Are these what you wish to recreate?

Originally the markings were silk screened on.How ever those depot reconditioned had decals made.You may be able to find someone who makes water type decals for it.

Sorry gents for the confusion.
Yes, the lettering on the faceplates e.g.: "Volume", "MCS", "Squelch", .... etc.
Very small font in white...
