Awwww... it's not that big of a deal. If it's like a 200B, you just unscrew
the module from the frame, unhook the ribbon connectors, take the knobs off,
and then remove the nuts that hold the pots in. The PCB will slide right
out. The fader is attached by way of a connector, so you then unhook that,
and there you are. Takes about a minute.


Then do that 23 more times. g Then you take the best one, lay it on
the scanner and create an image. Buy a copy of Photoshop, install it,
import the image of the panel, replace all the ragged text with clean
text, touch up all the other artwork, and generate something that an
engraver or etcher can use. Maybe a Gerber file? Are they still using
those?

Then strip off all the paint, engrave, paint, and fill. Reassemble.

I'll bet that if you did the artwork yourself, it wouldn't cost you
but about $50 per channel.
