Okay, back on this project   :applaud:

Control panel was striped down and painted


I'll be working with an ink jet overlay which is new for me.  This is still a very high quality reproduction.


It's not die cut so lining it up took a little patience.  I cut sections of the holes out so I could line it up correctly


Once applied, I used an exacto knife to trip away the remaining hole sections and the spots for the carriage bolts


Next, I used a wire brush attachment on my dremel to clean out the crud in the crevices of the spinner control.  After that, it was time to remove the old faded direction label


I was surprised to see that underneath the label was also marked with a directional indicator.


Add one NOS label

and now you can actually read what it says


Controls added back in and three new white buttons


Installed on the machine

Comparison of the old and new control panels

How do you think that inkjet print will hold up to sweaty hands and such?

It seems just as tough as some of the screened prints I've used.
