A lot of the lettering on my control panel is gone mostly the words under the control knobs, such as treble, bass, middle etc. I was wondering if there was fix for this? I'd like to get it looking good again, I have labels on it now.

Not much to be done, I'm afraid. The original markings are silkscreened on, using acrylic paint.

Thanks, I think this will work, I may just do the words, bass treble and middle , most of the numbers are good, maybe if I get the hang of doing it I might redo the numbers I ordered white , original color, it was cheap too about 6 bucks with shipping.

Let us know if they're sweat-proof and beer-proof.

Bill, you always come up with some cool stuff. I had tons of Letraset years ago, I thought they went under. I used to apply it to acetate to put my logo on photos in the darkroom. It works great. It's probably a lot better now.

They can be sprayed with clear lacquer to protect them.

I used them for simple lettering on my Wrecking Ball amp (though I am in the process of having a custom front panel made now).
