The best approach is to scan the tuning scale, clean it up with photo editing software, and print it out onto film. Sometimes you can get by with a domestic inkjet printer, but not all colours will print (white is a particular problem) so you may need to get it printed by a specialist printshop. You may need to modify some of the colours so that they will print well.

Any glass merchant will cut you a piece of picture glass to the right size, and they should be able to cut out the holes too. Alternatively you can cut Perspex yourself.
