EII Front Panel Label

EII Front Panel Label

2011-09-21 by trickstar303

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.  :-)

I received the pitch wheel label last week.  It physically fits.   The color is off though.  It came out like a purple color instead of blue.
The main label is still being tweaked.   Totally nerve wrecking and huge pain to do these things.   Highly un-suggested project if you';re thinking about it.   But having a bad label sucks worse.

Eventually the labels will be available in different colors, etc.    Crazy right.

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?

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.

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.
