Restoration Panel for Musitronics Mu-Tron III - Replaces Worn Top Aluminum Panel

Description

Synhouse has customers in 42 countries.
Synhouse ships to your country and has since before eBay existed.
If you are looking at a small/normal item in the Synhouse eBay listings and seeing no shipping options to your area or seeing a notice that says the seller doesn't ship to your address, this is incorrect. I've been shipping to Australia, England, etc. since 1990, five years before eBay even existed, and eBay has deleted ALL the shipping options and prices I've spent many hours setting up, in order to enable eBay International Shipping, and then tells people in the most commonly shipped to countries that shipping is not available there. This is fake and idiotic; eBay had already been shipping there with the eBay Global Shipping Program for a few years, now says they don't with eBay International Shipping AND deleted my own shipping options without my permission or knowledge, when it could have and should have been left in place as an option because at least it WORKS and eBay doesn't know what they are doing.
This goes WAY back to 2017 with people in New Zealand (one of the most commonly shipped to Synhouse countries) telling me that I don't ship there, and 1) multiple calls to eBay didn't solve it, 2) they sometimes said they solved it but didn't, and 3) said "Uhm, wait 24 hours and it will be working.", which is how eBay gets you off the phone. And I could never get that New Zealand problem solved. The new problem since early 2023 is eBay deleting my own shipping options in order to put theirs in, then theirs tells people no, the seller doesn't ship there, but I CAN manually set up a shipping method (usually with Synhouse it's one price each for USA, Canada, Asia/Australia, and the rest of the world.
Now I'm getting messages like these:
5/16/2023: Hi, Wondering how much shipping would be to Canada, postal code T2N 2P7. Thanks!
Can you enable the ebay international shipping option for me? I am very interested.
1/1/2024: Hi there can you post to London uk and how much would postage be?
Hi how much would postage be to London England
Thanks for your reply. Im trying to check out but im get the message saying seller doesn't ship to your address. Please advise as i really need the new faceplate.
1/30/2024: Hello synhouse, I have a T8 and would like to buy your Optical-Emitter-Set just to make sure to have it in the future. Is there a reason you don't ship to Germany?
If you see that any small/normal Synhouse item does not ship to you/your area, this is FAKE and wrong, please send an eBay message to tell me and I can manually enter shipping to your area AGAIN.
Sorry for this incompetent platform I've been struggling with for 25 years now...

Restoration Panel for Musitronics Mu-Tron III --- Replaces Worn Out Top Aluminum Panel
Please note the extended handling time above. The handling time posted is just an estimate, it will probably ship a little sooner, it was just posted that way to be on the safe side. The production has been completed.
Aside from the appearance of the scratched up old one, all the photos in the photo gallery are the new 2024 production and are the exact revision/production of the item you will receive.

Renew and improve the control panel of your Musitronics Mu-Tron III with this brand new replacement top aluminum panel from Synhouse, with 6 super vintage colors of 2-part epoxy ink silkscreened one at a time with heat curing in between color applications.
Note that this is for the main/most sought after/older Musitronics Mu-Tron III that has three side-to-side rocker switches including the OFF ON POWER switch, which may or may not have a sticker of patent numbers over the PATENTS PENDING silkscreened on the read of the panel, and not the later model with only two side-to-side rocker switches and no OFF ON POWER switch, and this is for Musitronics, NOT that "HAZ" item that no one wants (compare the recent selling prices of trashed Musitronics to near mint "HAZ", the "HAZ" will never equal the value and even new in the box seems to have been decided to be worth only half as much).
This type of item is completely new among the Synhouse products. Normally the factory is automated silkscreening precisely detailed artwork on the underside of clear polycarbonate, with adhesive applied later. This time the factory was conviced to work on metal parts and two more products of this type are in the works now.
This is a great leap forward for Synhouse, having the incredible artwork, super vintage colors, and excellent silkscreening of the famous Synhouse drum machine/synthesizer overlays now on metal panels.
In the past, all the Synhouse metal panels (mostly replacements/expansions for New England Digital systems) were like anyone else's, simple flat panels or bent panels with simple text markings silkscreened onto them in one color (white).
This time, it's metal cutting/punching/drilling countersunk holes followed by very distinctive artwork of graphics and text silkcreened on in 6 colors over two days, then the panels are formed with the deep radiused bends in several places, and a disposable protective plastic film is put over each of them.
The process is not perfect, though, and the product isn't perfect, either. These are a lot of work to make, a lot of handiwork goes into them, and by the time they are done the have some wear and scratches on them, sort of like the old NOS parts that have been in boxes a long time. The press machinery doing the silkscreening is making a usually visible groove/line/scratch from side to side near the front, just above the very small brand name logo, it was like this in each of the first two productions, this is a pressed-in line, and the factory says it is the result of the press machinery process used and it has to be that way to be marked this way. Sometimes it's unnoticeable, other times you can see it very well. It can't be seen in some of the photos, in others it's very clear to see.

There is a minimum shipping price for all of my small components and a different minimum for a very low value item or for something or more. However, I can ship almost any number of parts for the international shipping that it shows for most of those items. So if you want, for example, an SP1200 overlay and some knobs and some switches, or knobs and switches and potentiometers or whatever, just let me know IN ADVANCE and I will set up a special listing for you so that you will only pay the shipping once. This is if you tell me IN ADVANCE, not if you ask for it later because any shipping money paid has already been docked 14.9% by eBay managed payments and that money is not coming back. Yes, eBay takes the same percentage of the stated shipping charge as they do on the item since 2011. So let me know in advance and I can set it up so that you can save a lot of money by buying and shipping the parts together.
I can also set up special listings for different quantities of items sometimes. Usually the price is the same per item but I can set it up and that saves a lot of money on shipping.
