Re: colour variations in Schaeffer panels

2008-06-30 by Duh!

Update:

Great news from Schaeffer - they have offered to collect the panel 
(along with a another of the correct colour) and remake with a better 
colour match - all at their own cost including UPS collection.

What a great response from a company.

The wax infill cost-savings where offset by the HPGL ticks I added 
round the knobs - so cost worked out about the same overall, apart 
from those panels with a lot of knobs.

Pleased as punch
