SONY TAN-5550 VFET Logo

[WBS]

Does anyone have a clear picture of the VFET logo that SONY placed to the right of TAN-5550 on the face plate? A copy or jpg of printed material would be ideal. A photo might work if there is no perspective distortion. It's kind of cool and I have an idea for using it.

Thanks!

Here is a crop from a photo of my TAN-5550. I can try for a better one if this is not good enough.

Thanks pinholer

That's a good start! I need to see what is needed for etching a front panel.

Typically, you'll need to convert the desired image (JPG, PDF etc.) into a DXF file that a laser engraving machine can recognize. Software like Adobe Illustrator (or something similar) is quite often used for this purpose.

You’ll need vector art ideally. I’ll see if I can make one really quick.

Any way you have a full-res version of this image?

I will take a macro photo of the logo tomorrow. The logo on the front panel is only about 1 cm wide so I'll do a close-up on tripod.

Here's a quick vector version based on the image above. If this works I can send this vector art. Otherwise I can try and refine it a bit when we get the macro shot.

Got her done tonight.

Awesome! Thanks guys. I'll let you know how things work out.

Happy Turkey Day all!

Perfect, thanks! I’ll compare and refine the final artwork tmrw

There was a very nice Vfet logo done for the upcoming DIY VFET amplifiers.

Maybe Jason will put a copy up here for you.

Nice! Maybe he can share photos of the amp, some specs, and some graphs too 😀

all photos, specs and graphs are already delivered to OPLDF, so not available to public

 

[codyt]

How about a OPLDF day pass? 😀

 

[Zen Mod]

nope

OPLDF location should stay Top Secret
