Hi
I seem to remember that at least some of the markings were not
actually labels but screened onto the chassis.
White for black metalwork and black on unpainted cad and pass metalwork.
There is a process used for decals. You peel the back off and press on
to whatever. Then peel the front of and there you are.
Clear labels are available (I think). Printing black on clear OK. White
is a problem. You need a special printer.

One aspect of it is that some of the labels are
damaged

Before embarking on spinning up a process, I thought I'd ask if anyone
has already done so.
This definitely sounds like a place where it would be good to have one person
specialize in this, rather than everyone rolling their own.
I, for instance, could use a number of these labels (starting with the one
that lists the boards in the 11/45 CPU - although that one's black on white).
Anyone up for becoming label-meister?
