Preferably clean the area with alchohol first, then rub the white pencil over till it fills the indents and wipe off any surplus with an ordinary cloth. Cost of pencil, a dollar or so. Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Robert Meier [SMTP:RobertMeier@compuserve.com] I've gotten beautiful old 35 Summicron-R that makes incredibly nice pictures. But the white numbers have become so dull with age that I can hardly read them. Is there a source for white paint to refill the engraved numbers? And is there a technique for doing it? I know I could send it to DAG, but I'd like to do it myself.
