Larry,
I believe that you will find the cost/benefit ratio of a 'single'
restoration by having a silkscreen made is excessive.
The Dry Transfer decals are available from either specialty Art supply
stores - OR - from AES.
Alternatively, you could try going straight to Russell Industries Inc.,
and get the Part No. HAM-1W (White letters).
IIRC, having owned an SB-102 as my first rig, these particular transfers
are the correct size. HOWEVER, they do NOT have the 'lines' that would
radiate from a knob/shaft.
I'd take a look at this option FIRST. You can cover them with a satin
acrylic spray at the end to protect them.
My $0.02!
