Paint coat problems with A4

One reason I didn’t buy A4 at last spring was that people were having paint flaking off from their A4’s. I remember reading at elektron-users that these problems were sorted out with newer stocks. The unit I bought was supplied from elektron to the local shop somewhere august and already had 1.06 OS installed so I assume it’s been manufactured quite recently. However right out of the box the paint had flaked off around one of the screws. Today I noticed another scratch behind the unit.

So seems that this paint-coming-off problem still isn’t sorted out with new units?

Got mine from JRR and it had OS1.05, along with paint lines missing around 2 of the screws. I guess not fixed…but I am not going to worry about it, personally.

Black Sharpies are great for all kinds of things!

I sent mine back for a new faceplate.
They claim that the issue is fixed, and my unit came back flawless.
The new paint definitely seems a bit different.
