content: you could try the Free Galva made by F5BUhttps://www.f5bu.fr/galva-download/to recreate them. they seem pretty simple scalesAnother commercial application is Abacom FrontDesigner 3.0 which has meter scale option.

Evidence is against it. when email and usenet addresses had to specify each and every mailserver between source and destination, e.g. to get to janet on machine moria, you might have specified eek!foo!bar!swim!moria!janet and hoped that swim could connect to moria

content: in reference to the trolls comment on here,galva is almost impossible to use+ i made the scales originaly using tonne meter sw,it was a pain in the a$$ hence my post,do you get a kick out of making unwanted snide comments,or just like making derogatory comments that have no place on here??.

content: No problem! I don't do much restoration work, but I completely understand wanting it looking original and not having some generic scale in there.

content: well i found galve sw impossible to master and the tonne meter sw was a pig to use as some versions cant do log scales,thought a scan of the originals was the way to go,cheers+73.
