Missing the decal on a MEC 600 Jr pre 82 model. Looking for a replacement or someone that can make one.

Do you know anyone who uses a Cricut machine for scrap booking? If you supplied the art, they could probably make a sticker.

Make your own with a good color laser printer, the artwork, a graphics program like GIMP (free source software!), and "Waterslide Decal Paper" from Amazon. Check it out.

The maker is www.transourdream.com and sells thru Amazon

I do it all the time. An unlimited source/supply of decals like we all used to put on plastic models as kids.

Just make your own!

I'd call MEC and see what happens with them but that's just me. I have unlimited long-distance calls in North America

Just a question are you sure it was a decal? I’ve had some older Mec loaders I thought they were a metallic sticker.Just wondering sticker might be harder to do than decal.

Ya you are probably right it was a sticker.Not to many pics of vintage Mec's with it still on.Since it works great without one I am moving on! I can't believe It took me this long to get my first MEC 600
