[R-390] Re: Meters...

[David P. Goncalves]

Yes, the R-390 meters may be radioactive, but what about the PRC-47 meters
that Fair radio has been selling as replacements? I sat in my closet for a
half hour (live in the city, only room that gets dark enough) waiting for
a glow. Nope, none.

As for the meter dials, I'm thinking of taking the digital scans mentioned
and having a print shop make me some custom adhesive labels. Just peel,
stick, and reassemble.

Simple: Have the scans printed out onto a adhesive paper, either black on
a white paper, or white on black paper. Cutout labels by hand. I'm told
this is very cheap, and can be done at a Kinko's or Copy Cop.

Advanced: Have labels made with raised print (like on a business card)
with white ink onto a flat black adhesive label material. Have labels
laser-cut to fit the removable dial plate (including screw holes).

I like the 'advanced' option. If I get those made, I'll send an e-mail and
offer the extras to all the people who have the PRC-47 meters.
