Yeah, they'll do that.. possibly a bit too trusting? The panels do look
great, IMO, altho it does take 3 weeks to get to the US. They do take
mastercard now, which saves us yanks from awful costs and hassle. 

They are supposedly updating the software to allow for the 3mm option, but
for now if you just let them know via email that will do the trick.  There
is an email address for a person who speaks english quite fluently. I
deleted a lot of old email so I don't have it on-hand, but if the main
email address doesn't get you a reply, let me know, I'll try to get the
exact email for ya. I believe Kai Shaeffer himself is the gent I spoke to
this summer, and he was quite fluent over email. 

I think they're a great company, and are doing quite a good job of
drumming up buisness!

Debating getting his Tony Allgood VCF-1 module's front panel done by
Schaeffer-Apparatebau.. mmm... almost too good, I'd be afraid to mark it
up...
