Lettering on bar switches
Been looking but have not found where to have the bar switch lettering redone. Anyone?

Re: Lettering on bar switches
I have never heard of a hobbyist or professional service for that. Several individuals have tried it with mixed results. Quite frankly, it would be far cheaper to just buy reproduction switches than to ship the switches and pay someone to re-letter them. They are excellent quality.

A while back,Nils (noblehops) did an excellent write-up of how he refurbished his switches. You might try doing a search....

Here's the link: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=6395&p=47793&hilit ... ing#p47793 Hope it works for you. I have not tried it, myself. Old hand likely not steady enough.

I used one of these Marabu pens. Gave really good results but not sure how robust it will be. Can touch it up again anyway and you can do it without removing the switchgear.

Thank you for all the tips! Have not touched a cigarette in 40 years, time for an exception.
