Hello all, The panels are in! The battle against Illustrator and bad printers has ended, and I have some products you may well be interested in. The website is still not done, so the pics are under "The Bridechamber" in the Files section. And no, photography is not my forte. 2-pot long brackets w/ CGS PCB mounting holes are $4.25 each. 1U painted blanks w/ mounting holes are $9, 2U are $11, and 3U are $14. Silkscreened panels will be available soon in 5 designs, but I have to see what the silkscreeners end up charging me first. Postage will be fair. The panels are not chrome-treated, and so can be shipped to Europe. Here are the differences between these panels and MOTM (they are a very close match, but are not exact): The font is skinnier, and to my eye more legible. The silkscreen is pure white; MOTM is one shade towards yellow. To my eye the white is more legible. The textured top paint is flatter (less reflective) and not as chunky; 'subtle' is a proper word to use here. The lack of reflection makes the legending, to my eye, more legible. OK, I'll stop saying that. Tick marks are smaller, and mostly just use the leftmost and rightmost numbers instead of 9 of them all around the pot. ***The panels are about 1/32" smaller, which may or may not make a tight mounting, depending on what you use. This will change on the next run, but you must know it now, for I will brook no complaints. The diff is _tiny_, but I'm learning slowly that every little thing is good to disclose. I always thought MOTM's graphics were a little too busy, and FPE much too cludgy- looking; however, I know that many of you want to match MOTM, so I put forth a proper effort. So there you go. Email me privately if you want some -- bridechamber@... Word. Scott Deyo
