I was doing a lot of the graphical layout for the paper-faced graphics in 77-78. I don't
remember doing any TKB graphics offhand, though that could just be my faulty memory banks. And it
would not have been made with the earliest paper-faced design work. The TKB was either the
transitional paper-face or it came in around the time we switched to silkscreen. I'd say there's
a pretty good chance that there are some paper-faced TKB's out there.
Personally I think the paper-face modules sound subtly superior to the later silkscreened
versions. Something about how the sonic vibrations hit the front panel and interacted with the
paper instead of hitting aluminum straight away. This then modified how the vibrations interacted
with the circuitry. Ain't analog grand?
