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?
Half a mm is within the tolerances 
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.
LOL I forgot there were those panels made with silkscreening… 
I can confirm that the first run panels do yellow, pretty badly actually. 
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.
