When I first drilled the panel for this I made a mess of it, big surprise I then read Jon's post some time later and drilled a new hole over to the side, which looks a lot better. I then hit on the idea of getting a little engraved plaque to cover my butchery, its a little larger than I needed and maybe a bit thicker metal than ideal but in the rack it looks fine. Then just recently I finally added a 'mains on' LED and two for the Buffalo's indicators. I got little 3mm LED s/s holders off Ebay. They look a lot neater than the pictures, because of the magnification, my excuse anyway. I thought it worked out as an inexpensive way to save having to get a new front panel all the way from Italy.

Thanks guys, it certainly rescued a wreck, and made the whole thing look less home made. I can only find his email address - engravingworld@btconnect.com. I remembered that I contacted him direct to see if he would do non-standard sizes. The s/s plaque was £12 and I got a brass one to put on a separate PSU for my Pierre Lurne CD player, to match the one on the actual CD player, for £8. I initially thought this a bit expensive, until I looked at getting Hifi 2000 to do some work There's loads of people on eBay doing these plaques. Syd
