I have an older BP-1.5 which I really like, but the silk screen lettering has partially worn off. Mike Pickett searched for a couple of months for a replacement dress panel or the original silk screen to restore the lettering, but came up empty.
Does anyone have unique suggestions on what I could do to get the lettering restored? I've thought about taking the panel into a local firm for laser engraving or electro-chemical etching, but have not explored it fully. I have a silver panel but what I really want is a black one, which complicates my choices. I did post a WTB on the Trading Post for a black panel, but no nibbles thus far. An even further complication is that the newer BP-1.5 dress panels (if I were to find one) require a bracket modification to accommodate its studs on the older units.
I may just end up deciding the aesthetics are not worth the journey.
