If anyone ever decides to set up 3D printing for Wavetek 1281.1271, 4920, and 4950 they would have a small gold mine on their hands. Those buttons all discolor very badly make a great instrument look old and dated. If they did them with the writing recessed in a contrasting color, which should be easy with 3D printing they would breath new like into these meters. I myself would buy at least 10 sets.

These days 3D printers are your (frustrating) plastic pal who's fun to be with. _______________________________________________ volt-nuts mailing list -- volt-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volt-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ volt-nuts mailing list -- volt-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volt-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ volt-nuts mailing list -- volt-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volt-nuts and follow the instructions there.
