Analogue-sequencer

The pozi screws are just what I had in stock.
Final units will most likely use the same allen head screws I used on the
prototypes.
I only had enough of those for the I/O board fixings - have a look next to
the sockets, compared to the fixings round the panel edge:

Countersunk screws require much more precise alignment of the holes on the
panel with the captive nuts underneath - that is hard to achieve on the
chassis where the nuts are on flanges that are folded from edges of the
bottom face.
I know of a few cases where the screw heads on P3s got stripped because of
binding threads, which then required drilling out.

I intend to use white ink for the screening if the factory can source a
fluorescent white ink.
I want to make the legend fluorescent to give good visibility using UV on
otherwise dark stages.
