Many thanks - I'll try not to make you wait another year for the next instalment!
One more thing I've just remembered (I think I have told this story before here somewhere): I guess everyone here knows that each EQ had it's own LF knob colour, so of course we needed a new knob colour for the G series EQ, and the only Sifam colour we hadn't already used was yellow. That's good I thought, goes with the whole idea of these being the "gold cards", and so for the first G series equipped desk I specified yellow LF knobs. I vividly remember Colin Sanders walking into the room, stepping back as if he'd been hit, and saying "you can't use that colour, it looks horrible." And when I stood back and looked again I realised he was absolutely right. So since we didn't really expect to fit '242 EQs to G series desks we (after some debate) reused the black knobs, expecting that we would still use brown for '02s (classic E series) and orange for '132s (Pultecs). Not sure we ever did though!
Cheers,
Andy
