My Broadcast Sheet

My Broadcast (Build) Sheet 

I found my build sheet taped to the wiring harness behind the speedometer. They've also been known to be found under seats and carpeting. The tape was a kind of black cloth electrical tape, not too uncommon for the 1960's, but after 44 years was hard and difficult to remove. The tape obscured the lower left-hand corner of the build sheet. Careful soaking with acetone (applied with Q-tips) softened the tape and glue, allowing me to remove it and reveal the area below. While the acetone had no effect on the original heat-set print or paper, I'm not so sure about the type-written ink of the codes. I'm not sure if any codes existed here, and were removed with the tape and acetone, or if none were ever present.
