Convergent Aud orOtherBrands LetteringRubbingOff?


I am the proud owner of a CAT (Convergent Audio Technology) preamp. I recently aquired this piece that was built in the 90's. It was in next to perfect shape with the exception that the silk screen function markings were rubbing off in a few places. This really bummed me out. I noticed on many ads for these items used that it was a common problem. I am sure it also exists in other brands. What are we to do?

I am an engraver and glass etcher by trade. I could either engave the information on the faceplate or sandblast it. The finish on my cat is a heavy annodized black. I decided to sandblast it into the annodizing. The result was nothing short of stunning. I have etched pieces of crystal worth thousands of dollars. Let me tell you, of all the work I have done this is the work I am most proud of.

If you would like to see the results, send me your email address. I will send you a couple of photos. My email: jjmali@adelphia.net

Albert, the lettering on mine is excellent too. I was hinting that maybe you could go ahead and have yours engraved anyway as I too suspect it would be gorgeous. I just didn't want to be the first one to try. 8-)
