Trying to reproduce this exact Caution / Warning, all I get from what the font is an error... was this topic ever solved?

You can try this approach if you are adept with a tool like Illustrator or Inkscape.

Find a close font, perhaps like this: https://www.linotype.com/185452/itc-conduit-light-product.html

Buy the font, or type the alphabet into the sample text, grab the bitmap at high resolution, trace bitmap in the tool to vectorize it.

Adjust each letter on top of a scan of your text until it exactly matches. Place all letters on top of the scan.

Good advice from dr_nybble. These letters may have originally been done by hand, since computer generated type was not as common in 89 as it is now

I found a font that is loaded in photoshop that is close but before doing all the manipulation, thought I would check here with the experts.
Thanks for the advise!

Here you go:

I'd call it about a 98% match. It may take some playing with the kerning and width of some of the letters, but if you take a picture of the text you want to duplicate and use it as a guide as you type it all out, you'll be fine.

Ohh looks pretty good, let me do some manipulation, I will update the thread acordignly!

Thanks all

That Leroy lettering system is very cool, think I will buy one off eBay.

You could ask Inkochnito - he is the guy that recreates all the labels and coil wrappers and would know for sure. He is here on Pinside under that user name I think?

Yea, checked his site and didn't come across the caution info, but he still might know what it was, good thought.

The planscribe font is dang close! I went ahead and paid the $10 for it.
Considering imperfections when the paint was applied, I have pretty much got it.
I'll upload an image or two once I get it done.

Alright y'all, do I stretch, twist, slant etc the Planscribe to EXACTLY match what was on my BB or go with it as-is... White is Planscribe via Photoshop, the yellow bleed is the original.
What would YOU do? What YOU want an Oramask cutting of this caution text for any projects?

Depends on how OCD you are. I position every letter individually so it matches the original. Probably no one will ever know or care but me but it is satisfying.

LOL, I did not think I was that OCD but am leaning this way for the Atlantis I'm working on!

I'm that way, too. Plus, I'd do the work in Illustrator so it outputs a vector file which can be scaled up and down without loss of clarity. In Photoshop, if the output file is too small, the end result could be slightly blurry around the edges. If you keep it in PS, just keep it at 300dpi and the output file uncompressed.

While the font letters might be spot on, kerning and spacing changes as well as differences in programs used over the years are what accounts for the differences you see in that image.

... and the end result.
