My 2 have the same issues. For $300 a pop, this is unacceptable. The panel supplier should make good on their work or not get paid. I would certainly hope that Paul will not let this kind of sloppyness out the door.
Another observation: there's an awful lot of point-to-point re-work on my boards. Nicely done, but nevertheless begs the question of how thoroughly the PCB was prototyped.
The SAs are in complete contrast to the ZOs, which I consider Cadillacs.

Howdy!

Yes, that is supposed to say VC Fat, I

just took a pencil to the ?G? and turned

it into a ?C?, And yes those naughty

silkscreen people printed them all a little

too high, well, at least they got the

mounting holes too narrow, yikes, These

are the very same ?professionals? doing

the Motm panels, (good Luck Paul!)

Sorry if this had been asked before? I just received my MOTM-style Sawtooth Animator (thanks!). The first thing I noticed was the name of the second knob -- "VG FAT." Is that a typo? Is that supposed to be "VC FAT," or am I misunderstanding something??

It also looks like the silk-screening on the panel is about 3/16" too "high," with the word "FAT" at the top very nearly going off the top edge of the module, and all the jack labels being much closer to the jacks above them rather than to the ones they apply to, underneath.

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.
