Your right Xiwhateverthehellyournameis....I'd put it right up there with some of the big issues of today....say for instance trying to find clean gas station restrooms on your way to work when your IBS flares up.

You don't get it, apparently. The real challenge there is finding a place where the NOS stains colormatch the new stains he is going to put down.

This isnt some small issue. Just because you are colorblind, and art challenged, doesnt mean the rest of us are not.

NOS is still no guarantee. I've seen them a few times where one was old and yellowed and the other wasn't. It wasn't always the NOS one that looked better.

No less obvious than "plastics made by separate companies 30 years apart may not have exactly the same colors when compared side by side".

PBJ, I of course bought them in a pair set. However, that Navy blue they used isnt anywhere else on the entire machine... and it stands out like a guy wearing pink pajamas to a funeral.
Its not like the blue is a Little bit off. Its "off the charts" off. More than likely, someone goofed bigtime and they didnt want to refund money for the misprinted
parts. Parts were sold as is, to unsuspecting collectors... and no refunds available.
(pass the buck)
Can anyone tell me how to load MDF into a truck? I just cant wrap my brain around it...
