The stamps (as you said the types used by mini-disc cases) cost a lot less than that.

I used to work in a workshop that cretated prototype stamps for around $2000, and they would be a lot larger than the ones needed for MKII faceplates with a lot more detail. Although that would be for one of the proto-types, I once overheard the price of £11,000 for the full version of a coolant cover cap for something or other, which was about 2x the size of the empeg faceplate.

Pitty they sold the business, they would have been happy to do a thing like that.

But I have to admit this now, these prices where 6 years ago.


I am so happy - when my number comes up, I getting my player paid for by some1 else. HMM, wonder what size HD's there will be by then.
