Default DAC90A Tuning calibration label

Hi all.

Picked up a very cheap 90A a while ago (another one! ) which I am restoring.

Has anyone got a scan or a reproduction of the green calibration label which is usually stuck on the back of the dial assembly ?.
I wouldn't normally go to this extreme with one of these, but the rest of chassis is in such excellent condition, that it seems a shame not to replace the label.

Thanks

Pete

Hi Pete,

If it's of any use to you, I've just scanned the attached image from the actual Bush service sheet. Maybe you can make a new one using this info.

I am working on a DAC90A at the minute (still doesn't work).

Here are a couple of shots of the label with a ruler in shot. Should enable you to make you're own.

Might be easier if the ruler were in inches not millimeters but I am sure there is enough info to be able to make a label.

Hi

Due to the fact that that I've go nothing better to do , I've re-worked the photo that Cerberos has posted. It's a little difficult to work out the exact dimensions but I have done my best. The finished print needs to be 8.35cm in length

Hi all.


Well what can I say .

Many thanks to all, and especially to David for the finished article.

Now just to find a suitable backing for the label .
Must try to find some clear inkjet labels big enough.

Cerberos
Good luck with your 90A I hope the chassis is not as rusty as the tuning slide looks,seems you have your hands full there

Thanks chaps.

Pete

Thanks all.

Thanks to the image that David provided, I have now reproduced a fairly acceptable label using the self adhesive clear film I purchased (see my other thread regarding the Hacker Silver Knight).

As this label is fairly small the result is quite acceptible, although It would not really be suitable for a much larger decal, the print quality is not very good on this film, I am still trying a number of different print options.
