Default who's got parts for the OLD "whiteface" dialarc HF's? need the RARE side decals, & new faceplates...

OK, Dave.
If you just gotta have such decals, you would need an old retired
silk-screener. I guess I cold make them up. Of course, I'm retired - how
else would I have the tme? In a former incarnation, (no, that's not some
kinda flower) I owned and operated a sign shop. I made such sort ofdecals
all the time. The issue now would be time & materials. In order to make
exactly what you want, I'd have to have an original, to match the colors and
styles exactly.

It would take some time, as I have just had the shop built, I don't have
any of the setup I would need - but it COULD be done. If you exhaust all the
other easy options - get in touch. It would make a heckuvva end-of-summer
project.

called around, and visited the both miller dealer/shops here in town.
even called miller in appleton WI. all told me these old dialarc side
decals are "no longer available". anybody have any of these under your
bench or in your bottom toolbox drawer? drop me a e-mail PLEASE. the two
I need would look like this:

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 :-)
