Hi , can anyone help for Aeolian transfers for graduola regards Pete

That may be quite a challenge. I've checked all of resources I know of, and they stock transfers (decals, in American-English) for a few Edison, Columbia and Victor models; even Zonophones, but nothing for the major "off-brand" machines produced during the era of the "victrola clones."

One option you might explore would be to try to locate a collector who has your model, and a good quality digital camera, and the capability to take a "life-size" photo. It's possible to have a custom decal made from a photograph. (You can locate a few shops that do this by doing a web search at google.com or some other search site for the following key words -- "Create your own decals" digital (Try it with and without the quotation marks.)
Also try searching for -- "Custom Decals" woodworking or "Custom Decals" Silkscreen

I did a little more searching during my lunch-break and came up with the name of someone who makes custom decals for talking machines. His contact information, along with some samples of his workmanship, appear in this brochure --

Hi Joe, Sorry for the delay to thank for reading my request for reproduction transfers for Aeolian gramophone. I have found a way to reproduce the "company name" , manufactures and patent Label and word " Graduola". I spoke to a photo engraver company here in Adelaide, and i have supplied the rear timber with sample, where they will reproduce a 100%, make a plate out magnesium, which will be big enough to house the three seperate logos, then found a company who can foil print in gold, and the whole lot will cost me $200.00 AUS, but i least get to keep the plate and i can have a few clear vinyl labels as well. I was concerned they couldnt get all the details, but they have con firmed it will be a 100% perfect " touch wood". This gramophone, im going to go over the edge a bit, and add some glass, such as have a glass top, with counter sunk holes, bevelled edges and the plate the same thickness as the wood, have a glass platform about 19 mm thick, glass turntable, and have a glass speaker grill, with the final stage of replacing the side panels with glass and finally and very soft glowing light that spreads with perhaps the help of mirriors where nothing will be visible. The buyer will still have the option, to replace the glass with orignal components. Should lokk pretty smick with all the hardware re - nickled and the cabinet restained. You can see another aeolian on the metacafe site, just search for aeolian in google, lokk for possies video, and you will see before and after photos and also there is a Rexonola in there somewhere as well.

Kind Regards
Pete
