Dear SK,
these were exact replicas of ears from an original Serge panel from the
early 80;s but I did not. My mistake, sorry. Not to prolong this but is it
really that important whether someone who used to work for Serge actually
touched these rack ears? They are reproductions of metal rack ears which
are fully functional as are ones from the 80s. Does the fact that the ears
are not vintage or authentic Serge really matter to anyone looking to reach
their earless panels?
The only problem that I have here is that, in an effort to detract from my
offering, Tim suggested that they were flimsy crap, which they are not. I
would like to know how the current standard is any different from these.
FYI, the photo makes it look like the metal used is thin, however, it is not
all that thin and like I already said, it's unbendable by my standards.
