Does this P3 acrylic plate replace the actual original metal front plate? or is it an overlay of the original metal one?
This might be just the trick to replace my metal face plate, Seems my paper thin, short, male fingernail tips, have already scratched off parts of the original lettering, above the 2nd, 3rd and 4th buttons (from the top). doesn't affect the way they work but it does look bad for an otherwise pristine rig. :-( http://picasaweb.google.com/k5oai.sam/P3#5557672746806494978 P.S. No I haven't discussed this with the folks @ Elecraft, I only noticed it a couple of days ago. Perhaps they would replace it, I can't really say if it is, due to a fault with the lettering, or just the way I hit the buttons? I don't know, just haven't had an opportunity to contact them yet.
