I do not really see the point of this (replacing decal and
faceplate).

These machines do not really wear out. They may get dusty inside and
need points to get refurbished but that is all. So there is no point
in representing a machine as "less used" than it is for the purpose of
selling it. (I am not saying that this is what your plan was, of
course, I am sure that it is not as you would not ask about it
publicly then)

And if you want your machine to look nicer in your garage, you can
just paint it and use masking tape, or some such.

Have you looked at any websites than can print custom decals for you?
Are there any?

I could also stand a nice new faceplate. these are still available, but,
they want for the faceplate ALONE 50 bucks less than I paid for the
entire MACHINE...so, let me know if any of you guys got any for me? I'll
PAY (but not enough to pay off the mortgage on your villa in the south
of france). I'm looking into tooling up for silkscreening. mine's a bit
sorry looking (and doesn't look better after cleaning with 409 and, in
spots, Q-tips soaked with Castrol SuperClean):

last question:

anybody know what the text is supposed to be on the sticker on my
faceplate? the one right below the words "single phase", in the high
upper-left (my faceplate image)? after the word "WARNING", was it
something to the effect of "lethal voltages can kill you and blah-blah"
or what? I've googled up and looked at lots of old dialarc images on
ebay, too, but -nobody- seems to have an old dialarc (or any older
miller welder, for that matter) where that sticker is anything other
than "all bleached out white" looking.

thanks guys :-)
