[Boatanchors] Panel Labels Question

[Walt Heilsnis - WB2VSJ]

Do yourself a favor if it's not too late and use a scanner and scan that panel into a picture file. Then you will be able to use that file to make a Decal/transfer sheet that the others had mentioned much easier than by hand.  You can also "touch-up" the photo if needed before final printing to the decal/transfer sheet/

That is, of course, if you have something that is worth scanning to start with and aren't looking to start over (and if you have a scanner that will accommodate the panel)

I did that with my heath HP-23 power supply hoping to figure out a way to get it re-silk screened someday.  I had not thought about the other suggestions that were mentioned earlier.  

Good Luck, 

Walt - WB2VSJ
