OK, I pulled the front panel appart tonight and I found
out that whoever
owned this model colored the silkscreen with magic marker. Bogus!
Anyway, I can get a new photomask from Todd Fischer for $20. Well worth
it.
I was afraid of that ... Although it's good that you can get a replacement,
keeping it all original has merit as well - depending on the marker used,
you might be able to carefully remove it. Try a Q-tip with some whiteboard
cleaner and move up to stronger solutions as required.
Regards,
Dave
