RE: [motm] Frequency Shifter group question

Good news is that this project is emerging from the end of the tunnel -
FINALLY!!

I'm working on the final sheet metal and wanted your opinions about the
hatch marks around the knobs.
I recall a few people asking for the fine and coarse marks (the way Paul
does it on some modules) but I can't remember what percentage asked.

My inclination is to leave it basically as show here:
http://www.encoreelectronics.com/cont_fs1.html
because of a few reasons:

1. The UEG was that way and if I do all Encore(MOTM) modules this way it
becomes a consistent look for me.
2. Because of the fact I plan to use smaller knobs, the extra lines don't
seem to buy any thing in terms of knob setting ability.
3. The lines I use are a lot thinner than standard MOTM lines and doubling
them seem to graphically clutter up the area.

Not that those are good reasons, but they are my reasons. Let the opinions
fly. If I see a trend that appeals to many of you, there is a very real
possibility I will change it. 

Thanks.
Tony
