Mark Hammer	Re: Substitute for rub-on lettering I'd be interested I guess. Actually I'd be interested in even sheets of bold helvetica 12pt that had the right number of each of the letters that crop up most often on chassis. I don't know about you, but even when I could find sheets of the stuff at a decent price, there never seemed to be enough Z's, V's, G's, or T's. Perhaps it's worth asking for suggestions of symbols, terms, type faces and sizes that would keep most builders more or less happy. I suspect that if people knew they could get a sheet with their "greatest hits" on it, they might be more willing to go in with you. I'm not keen on creating more work for you, since lord knows you make enough for yourself (tidy web-site that AMZ is!), but it may be worth keeping some kind of score card or running poll over at AMZ, so you could accumulate a reasonably accurate list of what would make a sufficient pile of people happy to warrant a production run that would sell out. Obviously, for starters, (at least from this crew) one would expect the following terms to enjoy frequent use: IN OUT VOLUME TREBLE BASS MID RATE MASTER TONE DISTORTION SENSITIVITY THRESHOLD 9VDC FREQ DEPTH POWER (or ON) GAIN (or BOOST) LEVEL I offer this up as an initial list, and suggest that people contribute other terms they would like to have at least 2-4 copies of on any such sheet.

MID
