etched labels
I'm looking for some etched labels for a dashboard. White etched letters on a black background
The sort I want are similar to the type used in 40's/50's areoplane panels, if you're a plane buff.
any ideas?
cheers
Chris
EDIT: like this

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

I just went down to the local trophy shop / engravers and he made me up what i wanted out of sandwiched plastic so you can pick your colour and the
text colour. My fuse plate was about £4 IIRC.

I think he just had one font which is fairly plain.

~These are engraved. check local engraving companies the ones that do sports trophies and the like, they do these lables for industrial equipment.

ask for traffolyte if you're ringing anywhere up.
that's the name of the sandwiched plastic.
googling it also brings up a fair few places online.

Or you could go for even more locost option- those old letter punchers with a sticky tape for labels (I think I have seen them used in racecars in
'50-ies and '60-ies).  That ought definitely add a bit of retro look.
