Hi,

thanks for the commendation.
There also are some good ideas, which i'll have to discuss with my friend at the shop.
I like the idea of the little allen bolts, if there is enough space left for the screws holding the handle from the inner side... I'll check this out.

I'll provide a set of the clear farnell buttons for the lighted players. So it's up to you to fill them with the color of your choice. Mach has some good experiences with that. The original knob won't fit, it isn't deep enough and also the wrong diameter, i think. The knob on the photo is one of Tim (303), i plan to have a knurled area for better grip and the shaft in a little smaller diameter to make a halo-effect and also prevent the knob from sticking in the fascia. The little holes will stay, so light will come through them, too, especially if you fill them with fiber rods.

The start of sale depends on my friend. As said earlier, the costs are about 200 Euros, including fascia, handle, black and clear buttons, knob and screws/bolts.
Colors available are black, brushed alu, silk-smooth alu, and all colors you can anodize, like red, green, blue, gold, but we have only the first three as samples made.
I'll try to bring up pictures of the brushed and silk ones, although it's hard to see the structure in the photos.
Polished may be an alternative, depends on the demand. It's handwork and may cost a little more.

I now need an idea of the demand, so i start a thread in the for sale forum. Please tell me your interest and the color you want there, leave discussions and ideas here in this thread.

cheers,
Thomas
