Subject: Re: colour variations in Schaeffer panels

Update:

Great news from Schaeffer - they have offered to collect the panel
(along with a another of the correct colour) and remake with a better
colour match - all at their own cost including UPS collection.

What a great response from a company.

The wax infill cost-savings where offset by the HPGL ticks I added
round the knobs - so cost worked out about the same overall, apart
from those panels with a lot of knobs.

Pleased as punch
