This last piece here has been sold in a combined listing. This was the last one here, but there are more in the pipeline and this will be replenished sometime in the near future.
----------------------------------
Note: There is one (1) of these in stock at this time. This listing was ended weeks ago when all in stock were sold out, but I just found one that was misplaced, it is all packed and ready to go but was not needed for an order, so it is available now. This is just the $168 main panel overlay, not the $29 small wheels overlay. If you want that one for the $5 discount and the combined shipping discount that saves you $10.40 or $20.35 depending on location, send me a message BEFORE purchase and I will re-activate the $191 discount set Reverb listing (also ended weeks ago) and you can buy it from that.
I actually have a lot of those $29 small wheels overlays in stock that were made the same day as this main panel overlay, from the same mix of ink, I always do that to match the colors exactly, so it is a perfect match. I think I've produced those four times for six different productions of the main panel overlays just to be sure the colors matched each time (The dark blue, mainly, even on the E-mu machines and Moog Source overlays, the color didn't match sometimes, with Synhouse, they always do match and always have matched, I have complete control over the process, if I say the knobs are going to be square next year, they're gonna be square, dammit!).
For all other buyers who need this, the stock of all four Emulator II overlays will be sorted out later in 2022, it's just short right now as the Emax keyboard/rack overlays are getting done and I'm trying to combine/streamline productions to save money.
---------------------------------------------------
This listing is for the E-mu Emulator II main control panel overlay only.
The photos show the protective plastic still in place front and back over the shiny clear window that goes over the LCD, this is to be removed when installed, it's just there to prevent scratches in handling and I usually don't like to peel them just to take photos because they don't stick back on a second time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Completely renew the control panel of your E-mu Emulator II with this brand new replacement overlay from Synhouse, manufactured of the highest quality polycarbonate and adhesive with crystal clear printing and brilliant colors.
It is properly made of a sandy-textured polycarbonate substrate material, with die-cut holes for the buttons, LEDs, and sliders, and has the correct smooth clear plastic window over the LCD.

About Synhouse synthesizer and drum machine overlays:
The construction details and quality of the Synhouse synthesizer and drum machine overlays don't come easily; It requires multimillion-dollar factories with automation and properly trained operators, and tens of thousands of square feet of large-scale equipment. Any factory that knows what they are doing and is properly automated and equipped is not going to take an order for 10 stickers. Get serious. That wouldn't pay for the time to set up the materials and equipment, much less the materials themselves, the downtime of the equipment, or the tooling cost. It wouldn't even pay for the wasted 2-part epoxy ink that is lost during every production run setup and subsequent cleanup. I learned this sort of thing the hard way 20 years ago. As such, I did what was needed and more than 20 years ago I was making a robotically assembled electronic product and shipping it to customers in 39 countries around the world.
Synhouse has made a substantial investment to get into the production of synthesizer and drum machine overlays and it shows in the construction details (seamless textured LED windows on the SP1200 overlay, smooth clear windows over the LCD on SP-12 [instead of a lie about how SP-12s are not supposed to have a clear window over the LCD---when you know very well that your SP-12 and every SP-12 you've ever seen in your life had a clear window over the LCD, it's one of the top reasons people buy the Synhouse SP-12 overlay with the clear LCD window, because the old one was dented, scratched, perforated, kinked, or yellowed], and smooth clear windows over the LCD on Emulator II overlays) and quality (2-part epoxy screen print inks, different textures of polycarbonate substrate materials, high strength peel and stick adhesive backings) and this company will continue to prove itself over time with very, very high quality goods shipped worldwide consistently for 21 years and counting.
You can buy this product here and now or you can wait and buy it one year from today, your choice. It depends on when YOU want it, not on the instability of the joker trying to sell it.

About the garbage synthesizer and drum machine overlays sold by others and in the past (or even here and there today if they can find buyers):
Some of those guys made overlays that were relatively high quality in materials, but with wrong construction details, wrong colors, bad fit, and horrible dimensional linearity (this means that colored sections, borders, and text are in the wrong locations with a few millimeters of error in many places, and the die cut cutout location relative to the graphics printing is wrong and varies from one piece to another, something that should not happen in any manufactured product, because it's indicative of low quality manufacturing practices and trying to do things by hand measuring or by eyeballing it, instead of by computer-controlled automated equipment with the standard CNC machine accuracy that the Synhouse overlays have on EVERY piece (no matter how many you compare over any number of years), and the next production run is exactly the same because it's a computer running a computer file on automated screen printing equipment with precise computer control of stroke speed, squeegee pressure, and all other parameters, things that will be 30% different on every piece coming out of the T-shirt shop-style operations that everyone else has been using---I mean the BEST of the bad ones have been using T-shirt shop-style operations, the worst of the bad ones aren't even doing that, they are using inkjet computer printers instead of using multiple silkscreens and screen printing one color at a time, and some without even cutting them out after printing, instead telling you to use a knife to cut out 67 holes for buttons, sliders, pots, LCD and LEDs by hand, so that your SP1200 ends up looking like the school project of a slow kid). Some of the better ones of the bad were relatively accurate in type styles and other cosmetic details, but with low quality or incorrect materials and printing, wrong colors, and wrong construction details as well. Some of them were just totally shameful garbage.
Synhouse Multimedia Corporation has been in business for 22 years and has been manufacturing from day one. Synhouse existed for 4 years informally before incorporation and was officially incorporated in 1999 when a huge amount of expense was going to be incurred in manufacturing the first products. Over twenty years later, those first products are still being manufactured.
