Davo Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I pulled out my still-incomplete MB6582 to see what parts I still need to get. I was a bit startled to see that what was previously white silkscreening is now yellowish. Has anyone noticed this? Also... are .375 standoffs acceptable substitutes for the 10mm standoffs specified?

nILS Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Half a mm is within the tolerances :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Yellowing is strange... not even my original prototype PCBs have that, and they're much older. The pads on the first run of PCBs might be a little tarnished (they aren't gold like the second run from SmashTV) but they should be OK. If you're concerned, use a bit of extra flux before soldering.

Whoops! I forgot to say that it's the aluminum front panel that has yellowing silkscreen. It doesn't bother me too much except that it no longer looks good with the knobs I have, which are stark white Waldorfs that are still stark white.

Wilba Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 LOL I forgot there were those panels made with silkscreening... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i45one Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I can confirm that the first run panels do yellow, pretty badly actually. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 maybe y'all should smoke less :w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i45one Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 maybe y'all should smoke less :w00t: LOL, good theory but not the case. They just yellow very quickly. Crappy paint I suppose. I'm considering better panels at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
