Hi all,
Sorry I haven't been active with this. As you may have seen by now, SP manufactured the #! keys as row 3 and not row 1.
To compensate for the error, replacement row 1 keys have been sent out for free. These keys should now have all shipped.
However, the legend tooling for the row 1 keys was remade on a different machine by SP.
This has created a much bolder looking legend than the original, which was design to blend in with SP's standard Gorton Modified font.
The #! key in the middle is the row 3 key with the original legend. The surrounding keys are the replacement row 1 keys with the modified legend.
Sorry about the quality, I've only had these a few days and haven't been able to shoot them in daylight yet.
I was disappointed with the changed legend at first, but without the context it's distinctive and I like it. IMO it looks a lot better in person too.
When prompted by SP after I reported this a few days ago, I asked if it was feasible to remake the Row 1 keys and I haven't received a response.
As nobody seems to be unhappy with the result, unless many of you have been keeping quiet with your complaints (please let me know!), I will probably leave it there.
If you have any comments - or any pics of your keys - I'd love to hear from you.
p.s. As I now have the keys on hand, Extra Extras will be available shortly!
