I've done a couple of panels through Schaeffer, one a custom job I
created for a CGS Burst Generator, and a few designed by Tony
Allgood. They are inexpensive, even with shipping to the States.
The paint is flat and the lettering is engraved so the panels look
slightly different from MOTM. On the other hand, you could send
them a blank MOTM panel and they would use that (doubles your
postage though).
I recommend them!
