[Boatanchors] How to restore front panels and cabinets

[Glen Zook]

Silkscreening involves not only getting a good screen made but also the necessary equipment to do the screening.  The equipment basically consists of a frame and squegee.  The equipment is not that expensive but it does require some experience to get a good job.

Getting a screen made can be fairly expensive.  However, some "T" shirt silkscreeners are willing to make the screen for very reasonable prices.

I don't do silkscreening.  My eldest daughter, the fine arts / commercial arts artist, has done some silkscreening for some relatively small projects (like 50 to 100 "T" shirts for some organizations of which she is a member).  However, even though she knows how, she usually gets the job done by a company that does silkscreening on a regular basis.

Subject: [Boatanchors] How to restore front panels and cabinets

Wanting to restore the front panel of an old transmitter to original 
appearance, but know nothing about silkscreening.  Am guessing the process 
would somehow involve photographing the original panel, editing the 
photograph to correct flaws, refinishing the panel with the original base 
color, then silkscreening on the lettering & logo.  What are the resources 
available to have this task performed, am looking for a professional 
appearing result.  73, Curt KB5JO
