Sorry for the late reply...
I inspected the face plates and unfortunitaly the anodization has a rainbow look to it. So I need to start over... The fit and lettering looks fine.
Reviving this old thread... I just bought an 18 and it could certainly use new a faceplate. Curious to know if you've got a supply, or know anyone else who might. Thanks!I spoke with the guy that's getting them made for me yesterday. He is getting a new batch made up. I also asked him to get a set with black background and white lettering.
Bob Speece wlhd1610 was the guy who had them made, I have yet to replace mine, but he said mine was the last he had. He may have produced more, but he is off and on the forum lately, but a very reputable person ( he rebuilt 3 of my power amps and did a fantastic job). good luck and welcome to AK, Richbut any chance the faceplates worked out
Thanks, I'll see if I can reach out to him directly!Bob Speece wlhd1610 was the guy who had them made, I have yet to replace mine, but he said mine was the last he had.

Do you have the solid works drawing you can share with me? If so I'd definitely reach out to Front Panel Express and post a file here.solid works drawing
I have it at work, I'll see if I can get it Monday. I can try and translate it to FPE software. I would not recommend trying to use the import function on the FPE software. I tried it and the results did not pan out.
Don’t sweat it too much. Solid Works, PDF, or FPE. Whatever is easiest for you. I’m working in Vectorowrks so I can definitely import a PDF or solid works and export it myself to whatever we need.I have it at work, I'll see if I can get it Monday.

@txturbo if you still feel like sharing your Solidworks file, I'd love to take a peek at it as well.
when this was made my original plate had an E missing in the Stereophones in the bottom right corner so it was duplicated the same way you might want to add the “E” for your own unless you have also the same miss print.
I'll keep you all posted on how it goes. I might even just creating a stencil and screen printing the text on the old plate after it's polished up.
You have a PDF?
