hello again!

job etc.  ; )
yeah, red is a damn fine color! 
how did you manage to preserve the inscriptions (is that the right 
word?) on top of the poly? (you know..... where the parameters are 
written..... all of them....the scale of the volume knob etc....)
if you just sprayed it they would sure be gone.... if you covered them 
with tape or something similar it would not look very good... (i 
think, at least) -> got a photo? 
or did you apply completely new writings? how?
i am thinking of repainting mine as well (you know, there is something 
about the poly that makes it look so .... dunno....  BONTEMPI?)
ok, one might argue that that´s just the way the poly looks, but given 
that there are at least five knobs and two switches that can be added, 
the parameter-section would sure give enough place for that. so i 
would make new writings in a different style (to make it look more 
modern, as you said)

yeah definitely!

the manual says on page 13 that they are digitally controlled.
