Echophone S-4 Question and Show & Tell
#1

Been working up an Echophone S-4.  It's a 1930 6-tube TRF.  I have one filter cap to replace with an electrolytic and I can't decide on the proper positive-negative orientation.  Actually, I made that decision and soldered in the electrolytic, but I don't want to find out that I was wrong.

It's the 2 uF cap circled here:  If this isn't legible, a direct link is:  https://flic.kr/p/2cWipKg

Now, the Show & Tell.  I bought some DIY water slide decal paper a few years ago.  I've used it successfully a few times, but this is the application that I originally envisioned.  The dial face of the Echophone is rather...ugly.  I masked and repainted it:

Printed a decal for the full length of the 0-100 numbering.  Cut the finished decal into three sections for easier application.  When the decal dried, I coated it with clear enamel.

Ta-dah!  Couldn't have turned out better if I'd done it myself.  Hope this can help someone some day.
Thanks for the advice on the electrolytic capacitor placement.
