  1. Default Poll Customer Survey

    Oleg and I have discussed the possibility of some small cosmetic changes to our Units and amongst some of these proposed changes is doing away with the multi-coloured control knobs (Blue yellow green red )
    With this in mind we have decided to ask our Forum Members for there input.
    Below shows pictures of the Present face and one with all green knobs .
    Thank you for your vote.
    Cheers

    I've seen guys comment about the colors and I get it, But I really don't mind the different colors.
    I personally don't like all green knobs. If I were to change mine I would go with all black because I think the colors make it look "cheap".

    All black looks good but it doesn't really matter to me. I just like it to work well at a reasonable price so I'm happy.

    Black was Olegs first choice but we decided on just limiting it to the green. I actually think black would look good may have to replace with black and add this to poll as it seems there has been a few mention Black as a better choice.

    I don't think either knob set-up will affect sales....

    Although I voted for the present color coding I think you folks have already put the controls into a nice logical grouping so eliminating some of the knob color coding wouldn't create an issue. Go black if it helps keep the prices low :^)

    The multi colors doesn't bother me any, but if a change were to be made I would say go all black.

    I'm a visual learner so I prefer colors. Honestly I would refer to the functions by color instead of the actual functions!

    I think the color coding is good. As I am new to tig it will help me narrow my adjustments and speed up my learning curve. But if a change must be made I would vote for Black only.

    Gotta say ditto to everyone else on function grouping by color, it just makes sense. Plus, it is festive! If they were all one color, I would vote for red.

    Where the color changes finalized or did the knobs stay the original multi-color? I too like all black but certainly can see the value in the grouped colors. In the end they all will work the same.

    Heh, nice photoshop ... I vote for the color knobs ... Helps me group the functions in my head.

    Can I put in a request for the pulse switch? Can you guys make the zero on the switch line up with the wiring of pulse off? Setting the switch to 1 (on) to switch pulse off twists my brain, and I do it wrong every time

    Thanks

    I vote for the multi-color knobs. Or if not, all black black knobs except for the power. All green has a weird look.

    You should sell the knob color inserts separate so if anyone doesn't like them they can be easily changed for a small price.
