Mine was one of the threads for alternative center scale for 5400. I
created mine by taking the scale off the meter, scanning it at as
higher res as I could.
I loaded the BMP ( preferred to jpg because of losses in compression)
into Paintshop Pro, re-lettered it with the appropriate figures and
airbrushed the scanning blemishes.
I printed it onto a self-adhesive label ( took several attempts to
get size exactly right) and stuck it on the back of the existing
scale. couldn't tell it from the original.
Hope this may help.
