I read a while back that some folks in the forum where attempting to repro the EII front panel label. Has anyone succeeded in doing so? Please let me know..I could use a couple. :-) George

Bummer about the color issue! Just curious how you went about it....mind sharing? Did you scan an original label or recreated it in a graphics program? --- In emulatorII-list@yahoogroups.com, James Ulibarri <jamesulibarri@...> wrote: > > I received the pitch wheel label last week.

Not really a bummer.. Just change the colors so it matches. Not a deal breaker.
It was scanned in and used as a template for a layer. Then build what you need to do in Illustrator, and then delete the scanned in layer as you were just using it as a guide.
They will be available to buy soon. It just takes forever and I am working with a well known company who does this stuff. Yes, I had to cannibalize genuine EII labels that I removed with a heat gun to do all this. Eventually I will have to do another painted EII with non-factory colors and with non-original colors for the label(s), with some cool 5mm washed out aqua LED's, and of course a Noritake VFD. Non of the non factory color jobs I have seen on the internet have looked all that great. I'll have it done right.
I'm working on a couple other little EII stuff before all that.On Wed, Sep 21, 2011 at 8:39 PM, trickstar303 <trickstar303@...> wrote:

Respect for taking on such a tedious task. Sounds like you know what you're doing and as if you're on the right track. Keep me in the loop as i'm interested. --- In emulatorII-list@yahoogroups.com, James Ulibarri <jamesulibarri@...> wrote: > > Not really a bummer.. Just change the colors so it matches.
