Doepfer

thanks for the tips 
...but how did you solve the soldering issue? how to route if i want to use bananajacks?(grounding etc.)

the "press-on-letter-then-spray-finish" method is one of to options, the other is to use highresolution-papercopies (laminated) witch could contain more info+colours&symbols...

///thanks again!!!///d n f n
