Yeah, the single sheet idea (which I stole from Serge T. -- obvious why one 
would do this given the state of graphics in the early eighties and the cost 
of color reproductions) is a pretty good, "one size fits all," solution.

My thought being, the method that cuts the "Fender" logo for the decals that 
go on the machine heads of their guitars, could easily cut decals for dial 
indicators and the like. Unfortunately, no one I've talked to seems to know 
how those decals are made.

Might not be too cheap if there's no market.

BTW, Steve, I think a lot of people are buying blanks to do their own custom 
front panels or multiples. Hence, our interest in getting similar MOTM style 
panel markings.
