Aahh, I see. Sorry! I forget that not everyone who uses email is a bona fide computer maniac like I am. Serves me right for _assuming_ (I won't make the old joke).

But even if I did figure out how to trans-
pose meter scales with my computer, I would not
want to print it on paper, cut it out and glue it to
my meter's dial.

That's one way.  After all, the existing dial isn't what you want...

If you're suggesting stamping it on
to a metal meter dial, then you obviously must have
fancier computer and printer equipment than I do.

Hahaha! I wish! I do however hope to have a job soon with a company that makes metal marking laser engraving systems! (but I digress)

Maybe I'm just showing my ignorance here but I just
don't see how I could neatly transpose a desired scale from my computer directly to my meter's dial plate?

er... magic marker?  ;)
