Greetings,


Finally, we finished the first  batch of reproduction 181812 Nameplates for 
the Model 33.  I have  included three photos (I hope that is OK) in the 
email showing the nameplate  on the machine, the front & back of the 
reproduction (top) and original  part (bottom).


It took three tries with the  metal fabricator to get this exactly right.  
The construction is  identical, the silk screen beautiful, and the fit 
perfect.  They were  precision laser cut and are made of 5052-H32 aluminum.


The front of the part has been  machine brushed to look as close as 
possible to the original.  We  impressed a slight inward arc on the part so that 
when the middle clip engages  the cover, the ends fit tightly against the 
cover front - actually the fit is  a little better than the original because of 
this.


To install, you simply  compress the center "clip" with the thumb and 
finger until it snugly engages  the mating cover feature.


I had to build a batch of 50  pcs for $2,400 so if you are interested in 
acquiring one for your machine,  feel free to send Danielle an email at 
retroparts at yahoo.com and she we will  send one off.  $49 each shipped to your US 
address.  I have a  lifetime supply!  The plan is to ship them in cardboard 
tubes - I still  need to locate the best tube to use, so it might be a week 
or so before an  order is ready to send.


Thanks.
