I recently acquire an industrial Model M with a missing badge, help

[cdaman]

Good day,

I felt really lucky to get a hold on one of the industrial M from a local recycling center here in Thailand. The thing is that it has a missing awesome black badge Can I find a replacement for it? What options do I have. Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Replacement black badges are a very difficult proposition. Silver badges are difficult as well (and expensive), BUT... fellow DT member Quartz64 had a bunch of reproduction badges made. We should page him, to ask him whether he still has one to spare (or whether more can be made).

Can you share a picture of the label on the back?

It would be great if any of our member still have a badge left to spare

That is a very nice find. Glad you saved it from being recycled. Most of these came with a black badge but I think I've seen some with silver badges. Original black badges are simply impossible to find so a reproduction is the next best option.

Great idea on how to reproduce the square labels
