Source for graduated scales for setting circles?

I am very dependent upon setting circles & I have an old Meade 826 mount on which I have worn the graduated scale on the 3" RA setting circle & would like to replace it. The scale appears to be a metal tape with the graduations etched in. Is there someone who would sell or make these?
I have a computer program I could use, but it would print them out on paper which I doubt would last. thank you, Bill

Could you "back print" them on transparency film?

If so, after you printed them, you could apply a white spray paint to the printed side, and then you'd have a reasonably well sealed scale that would be reasonably easy to read and last a while.

Back printing is also known as reverse or mirror printing. The print looks normal when you look at the non printed side.
