Knob dial skirts for Tektronix scope, any vintage ones are quite brittle and the press-fit tends to make them break in two.
I drew it up in AutoCAD, really the only way to get precision and deal with the angles and shape.
Then had some custom made laser cut, a bit thicker acrylic. OD around 29mm.
First build, the text is a bit more difficult, painting in laser cut text did not work. I would not get in that mess again.

Floobydust,
I have 4 Tek scopes (465 and 465B's) that have Vertical attenuator knob skirts that are damaged and either broken or they all have the lettering worn off. Any chance you could make skirts for me? I could do the paint part. I have looked everywhere for these. They go from 5mV to 50V and I believe that the text spacing is 22.5 degrees. Obviously if I had a PDF of the text layed out I could confirm that but if you have a 465/465B you could confirm that yourself.

At one point (when I didn't need them of course) I thought I saw someone on eBay that sold these but now that I need them I can't find them.

Thank you for your time,

Sam
