Duplicating A Jackson 648 Meter Dial?

[racfan9]

Hi Everyone...Just curious if anyone out there has a source or suggestions on replicating this Jackson 648 meter dail.

Run it thru a good printer using 140lb card stock. I think with my Epson, you would not be able to tell the difference (appearance wise).

yeah, basically that. I'd probably mess with the colors in a graphics mutilator to restore the faded red.

I'm trying to get the original color back, the red has all but disappeared and what should be white is a dingy cream color.

But is it worth the hassle? Looks eminently usable from here. Could maybe re-color the ref zone with careful use of a red permanent marker?

Copy it as I said in my earlier post, import the file into paint and change/touch-up the face, then print in color on card stock.

you could try printing this one and see how it comes out.

I have neither the skill or equipment to do this,but I would really like to replace the scales on my 648 & 658. Especially the 658,which is really faded.The Jackson 648 was (and still is) a very popular machine. There may be a market for these

The scales on my Eico 667 and my RCA VTVM have no red left either. The RCA is the bigger problem, there is one voltage scale printed entirely in red that is basically invisible at this point.
