Dave!Couple items here for you! ... first though: WHICH gold/black Fibes badge? There are FOUR of them! I have researched the Fibes badge timeline as well as documented them with pics of each badge and the year/years it was used. I also want to make mention that I STOP when Fibes was sold to CORDER in 1979, as from then on, they weren't the original Fibes. That said, I'll attach pics of the FOUR badges in chronological order that Fibes used from 1965 to 1979. Other item ...... I got a reply from a guy that has the parts you need!
Tommy ,
Thanks for the offer but I have the #3 and 4 original badges. I'm not really looking to get original decals . I'd rather spend the money on something else...like machine shop services.
There is a member of drumForum.com who goes by the name of "Saladdaze"and he referred me to Kevin Hoisington at Victory Sign and Graphics in Michigan. He used to make Fibes decals that were made from an industrial vinyl with a 3M adhesive backing. At the time, he charged $7.00.
The last time I contacted him, he was moving his shop and mentioned that he didn't get a a lot of calls for the Fibes badges but he would see what he could do. That was about a year ago. I have since emailed and phoned him but never got a response.
I would assume producing a $7.00 drum decal isn't a high priority for him, which I understand.
Anyway, thank you for taking the time to help.
I'll focus on getting these evil little swivel nuts made/acquired.
Cheers!
Dave
