Good point, but still a whole lot better than a blank face with paint chips at the bottom :)

HP was quite proud that scales for their precision meters were individually produced for each movement on a custom made servo controlled photographic calibrator. An archive might be nice but won't provide the meter accuracy of the originals produced for each unit.

If its bad enough you take the risk because you do know the process will degrade the scale. Essentially when its time to do it you will. So the good news is this. With todays tools you can very accurately reproduce the meter scale. I scan them at 1200 dpi as I just did for the dymec. I prefer bitmap over jpeg for storing them. Additionally with the various paint programs that seem to come on every pc today you can always fix issues pretty easily. Then print to your favorite material which most likely is a white picture material. (I like it because its a bit thicker and more stable) Though good quality paper is excellent also. Hmmm maybe we should send our meter scans to K4BB repository. Heck he has rom images.
