Anyone find a supplier for toggle switch labels? I found a few old threads that have links but most are dead links. There’s one company legend plates but they don’t have the look that the others have . I’ll post pics of what I’m looking for 117819

The first set I had made I got a trophy store locally to make them. Just design them the size you want, and with what you want printed on them, and they can do them for very little money. The second set I had made by a friend that owns a franchised sign company, and they also have the capability to make these.

Maybe something like what this search turned up?

I was mainly looking to see if anyone on here purchased them and can give reviews or more pictures than the link you found. Was hoping there would be a “go-to” maker for these

And also that link goes to an item that’s not for sale anymore, I found a few good ones on eBay but weren’t available anymore

I bought the ebay items listed above. It was a 15 yo girl using her dads equipment. Great stuff and came quickly. Too bad she stopped selling

Agreed she did a great job, sad to see that she's not doing them anymore!
Her store is still there, so maybe an eBay message to check?

I used Carolina Laser. When you prototype the switch label on their site, thats exactly what it will look like. They give you the size and all colors available.

Mine installed:

Service was quick and I got exactly what I was looking for. No mistakes, no send backs and all together pretty cheap.

Is this something that can easily be purchased? I have 8 total switches

I don't have the same style you're looking for, but I bought a set of basic labels from them. They are exactly what I was looking for.
You'll have to zoom in on this one phone I found of mine. I an try and get a better photo if needed.
The lettering is white, and the edge is white. I suspect the round labels by that company would look exactly like your original phone in post #1.

I ordered a set today from Carolina Laser that Greg K referenced above. When they arrive and I get them installed I'll take pics and report back.

Yes but you need to shop around as the price is all over the place. Don't think I paid anymore then $10 for a unit bought from a number of different vendors based on price. I have 1973-1977. Just do a "bronco parts search" generally Interior-Dash sections. Some will take slight Dermel work due to different size shafts on some FFR supplies items lige ignition switch. Have 10 pieces, 4 are blanks that I did not need marked. Blanks are on console 2 fan on/off & 2 vent pull/push.

I did mine from Carolina Laser as well. They work great. I do remember having to use a round file to open on up for a switch that was slightly larger, but it was easily done.
