Just a note about jpg files, they are intentionally fuzzed as the Japanese Photo Experts Group concept is in the interest of visual art. So if you make a jpg of a schematic much of it will not be readable. Try Graphics Interchange Format gif to preserve computer generated details like lines and text. Or if it is all text, the postscript file system is very good, it allows control of the entire page formatting in preservation of accurate alignments.
I have made a similar repair using clear sheets made for overhead projectors. My bet is that the photographic paper wont buy you very much improvement if any. A laser printer with 600 dpi is a very good graphics machine. If you want to try the mylar paper send me the file and a mail address to return to. There is also an option to use a material similar to photo paper for laser printing, my guess is that that is what the print shops are using to make photographic prints so they are laser images not photo images made from laser images.

Other then the damage to the 1 rev per second wheel it looks like will not take much to clean up. My corrent idea is to start off with making a replacement on a laser printer and once I'm comfortable with how it looks have a few scales made on photographic paper. One discount retailer here in the US, Costco will do 8x10" prints from .jpg files for $1.50 USD each. Cheap enough to experiment. The 116AR although totally impractical will still be fun to bring back to life, but will be some time. Will need to find a manual first. -pete
