Hmmm...

Was keeping quiet but now need to add my 2 cents. I
haven't even been able to check mine out yet due to
these issues. I need to dremel my wood cabinet to
suppor the module, and if I ever need to move the
module I will need to dremel the new spot. This is the
only thing I can do. I though about drilling the hole
lower but then the spacing is off with tick marks. 

Jack washers cover the screening by them, the spelling
is wrong and I was waondering what VG Fat was too,
although I was convinced it meane Voltage Generated
Fat. 

I was expecting ZO-quality too. I am disappointed with
the overall construction and would love to hear what
any other MOTM-users are feeling about it. So much for
ordering the MOTM LPGs. Not with this type of trun out
on a module. Cynthia's message says "Good Luck Paul",
but I firmly believe Paul would have sent the pabels
back for the spacing and screen printing issues.
