[sdiy] Designing front panels for synths

[Joan Touzet]

My understanding is that manufacturers are increasingly removing
labeling from SMD resistors for environmental and cost-cutting reasons
-- even for larger sizes like 1206.

So, our collective curses may go away soon. :) :(

Just don't lose the label on the reel/bag!
