I can hardly make out the writing on function switches on my MEP002A generator.
Do they make labels or stencils for this?
Ive never seen one. However I have been playing with the idea of re-annodizing one and having it laser engraved

If it were me, I would try to find a NOS/good used one.

If you go down the route of new, in the past, I have used these folks, but be prepared, pricey!
I'm sure there are lots more around, and comparison shopping would be worth it. I would ask about volume discounts for ordering and reselling on your own, as the price for one can often include hefty setup fees.
If you go down the route of new, I have an acquaintance who does laser engraving on the side, but I would have to check about the maximum dimensions for his laser. PM me if you want it.

All the best,

I am very interested in having your friend do the laser engraving for my MEP 002A generator.
Please advise as to how to proceed.
Thanks

I have a brand new ( NOS ) still in the wrapper control panel and I may also have a used one in good condition, if you're interested.
Send me a PM if you want me to look into it.
I am very interested. Please advise as to cost of part and shipping.
Thank you

Geronimoe Can not PM anyone because he has a few two few posts.

Geronimoe, when you want to get someones attention, do it like this:
@Ray70 and @2Pbfeet

This sends a heads up to the folks you want to speak with, about this thread.
Thanks. I already sent @Geronimoejoe a DM.

As a follow up, a local hobbyist with a CNC router should be able to do this as well, and perhaps better, as they could make the entire plate with holes, and markings in one go from a piece of anodized aluminum. It would require the effort to lay out the dashboard once, but then it would be straightforward to make multiples. The panel is small in the context of woodworking CNCs, though large in the context of laser engravers.

All the best,

Sorry.
It state that I can't PM because I have too few posts.
Please advise.
Thanks
