Repaired some broken solder joints, sanded out the biggest scuffs and polished most of the scratches out of the screen. Oh yeah, and the paint job.

I'd recommend Rockin Monkey if you wanted to do stickers, they've been awesome when I've had them do orders. Unfortunately the smallest batch they'll do is 10. I'm guessing you don't need 10 TV stickers... I don't remember how small Spring will print.

I can do a couple quick mockups for you if you'd like. I'm just procrastinating at work.

Rockin Monkey

Oh no, I didn't need another custom printing company in my bookmarks list...

I might try to make a stencil, I've had good luck with those: https://i.imgur.com/MQHV2yu.jpeg

I love that! Sand blasted or etched?

Sand blasted. You can get one the size of an airbrush that is meant for cleaning jewelry (I think), it works awesome on glass.

My mom's been doing stained glass for years, so she's got one of the decent ones. I've been dying to do some projects with that and her Cricut...

Not sure how Lemmy's gonna butcher this, it looks like it played nicely. Did a couple versions. Tried to be as close to the original kearning and font ratios as I could just eyeballing it. I'm more a fan of the top one, personally. Feel free to use it if you do decide to do it. Let us know how it turns out!

Those kick ass! If I can get a decent vinyl cut I will go with the top one. It looks pretty legit. Thanks!

No problem at all, first time I've had an excuse to open gimp in like a year.
