You can print the labels on a single sheet overhead transparency. Then use one
of the adhesives that come in spray cans. It does take some "trial and error"
using a graphics program to get the placement exactly correct. But, until
everything is "just right", just print these "trials" on plain paper.
There is an example of this on a Gonset Communicator I that I restored a couple
of years ago in the series of photographs at

What's a good way to label an unpainted aluminum panel? It has a 'satin finish'

I looked into custom engraved adhesive-backed plastic plates. There are a
number of companies that will make them, and they would look great. But they
are about $4 each, and I'd need about 12 of them, not counting the bandswitches
(I admit to having separate grid and plate bandswitches) which would need 6
each!
One possibility is printing on 'transparency' stock with my laser printer. But
I don't know how I would attach labels made out of this stuff.
Another is to print on transparent sticky labels. Has anybody done this?
I need a process that would work well on an already-built amplifier...I should
have done this before assembly, but I didn't.
