I know where you can get an original Amberola VI gear cover for about $100 if you are interested. But I would like to see the one you made.

replacement and painted it the correct color but would like to pin stripe 
it. The original gear cover had gold pinstripes about 1/16" wide on either 
side that were about 1/8" in from the edge. I could paint them but masking 
the piece correctly will be difficult and thepinstripes will look poor it 
they are not matched exactly. I have a couple of other ideas. I believe 
pinstriping tape used on automobiles is available 1/16" wide. Anyone know 
where I can get this? Also I believe auto paint suppliers have a masking 
tape for pinstriping where the center section can be removed. This assures 
that the width is consistent when the paint is applied. I don't know if it 
is available for a 1/16" width or where to get it. Any ideals. Finally I 
know some parts suppliers have decals for redoing the beds on Edison 
machines. I would need a decal set with two stripes at least 8" long. 
Anyone know of a supplier for these? Thanks
