Re painting graphics on Delkims?

Post by Andytheammer »

Anyone know of someone who can re paint the white graphics on some original well used Mk1 Delkim TXI’s & a R2000 receiver,
As over the time the white writing has worn off, Yeah I know “Tackle tart” eh! 🙄 But feel they could do with a freshen up as served me well 😜

Looking at mine (which is wearing a bit) I'd say the lettering was originally stamped on with paint of some sort. I doubt they'd do it but try Delkim first if you haven't already as they might still have the stamp (or whatever it was).

Received a generic reply from Delkim

As of 1st September 2020 we regret that we can no longer repair any original range products. These include the Delkim Standard and Tx-i alarms, Rx2000 and Rx2004 receivers and Tx2000 micro transmitter, which ran from 1992 – 2003. As these items could be 17-28 years old, we trust that you will understand why this is no longer possible. We apologise to any of our loyal customers that this may affect

I think I'd rather have no graphics on something, rather than very badly worn lettering.

Rubbing with Brasso (or sometimes just toothpaste) takes it off without leaving any scratches.

what about a set of laser cutting white adhesive graphic?
find a picture of the good condition ones have them done by a print shop.
or leave them as a survivor set
retired so time to smell the roses.

Try this chap Dalelectrics 07435967482 he fixed one of my MK1 TXI's recently, think he used to work for Delkim at one time but now runs his own business. :smile:
