If they are anything like my late Fobco Star. They are simply Dymo tape with the letters "printed" by a Dymo hand machine. Dymo tape and "printers" are readily available at most stationers. I think Wilko do them too. I got mine from Aldi.

I replaced the originals with freshly printed ones (Oh, and they are self adhesive too). The new ones were identical to the dirty old labels that I took off.

If you have the original yellow paint work, I am trying to find out the RAL colour used on the late models.

The originals do look like Dymo labels. British Quality eh?

It seems the world is out to sell you an electronic labeller with zillions of fonts, emojiis etc. at remarkably low prices.

But you probably want one of these:

I remember in job I had we had a desk-,mounted one with a wheel about 10" across for printing big labels.

What size are the letters on your fobco?

You may be able to make letters using hand letter punches, Dymo tape and a resilient surface like hard rubber.

Hi, are the letters raised ? If so pm me your address and I'll send you some in the post.

I've had good results in the past with varnished paper labels. Decal paper, self adhesive label sheets and plain ordinary paper just stuck down with one of the more aggressive spray glues have all been at least adequately satisfactory for what I used them for. Did find that spray on printed circuit board protection varnish from RS was rather better than ordinary varnishes. Especially stuck down paper ones as ordinary varnish sometimes seems to weaken the glue.

Nowadays I use one of the inexpensive laminator machines to make a complete "plastic" panel of whatever size and shape seems appropriate. For your job I'd do all four annotations on one panel with hole in the middle. A round dial would be probably be appropriate. Glue, screw or high strength self adhesive double sided foam tape all work to hold them.

"I would be grateful if anyone knows where I might source some "On and Off" decals to put on my Fobco Star".

You seem to have been offered plenty of advice. You could d/load a font which resembles "Dymo" and print/laminate your own. This is one from a Google searchf "Free Dymo font" (colour modified)-

(Though why anyone would want to similate the hideous "Dymo" font is another matter !)

Madhatter.

I've sent you a reply pm.

Madhatter,

If you have access to laser printer the heavy duty Avery labels are self adhesive and very durable. They are available on an A4 sheet in white or silver. I have used these on various pieces of equipment with great success, for example I made a label showing the belt routing on my mower, stuck on the grass cutter tray. It was good as new 9 years later before the mower packed up.

The reason it has these stickers, is they all do! At least, they are exactly the same as mine.

What you need for an easy facsimile is one of these:

But, if you PM me your postal address I'll print out a string of ON/OFFs for you that you can cut up and use – as I already have one of these little printers I use extensively (it's that OCD again).

Cheers, Colin
