Classic suggestion

[Nashville]

Greetings People of Alternative Energy!
I would like to suggest that there be a thick, yet flexible, clear plastic protector over the PC board. I have seen these in other electronic boxes. This would protect the board from objects like screw drivers, small VWs, and other forms of stupidity

sounds like an interesting idea. most of us won't need it though.

Not sure if you mean a conformal coating or a separate piece of material?

I never paid much attention when I installed my Classic but conformal coatings are commonly used on boards to seal them up. Like I say, not sure if my Classic had that?

I think I recall Ryan, in a video, dipping some piece of Midnite electronics in a bucket of water and talking about coatings.
I don't think it had any effect on screwdrivers hammers or the like.

Yes, you are absolutely correct !  The Classic DOES need a simple plastic cover for the components.
I REALLY like the idea of a clear cover, too !  Don't know if we can make it clear but I will ask.

We had every intention of making such a cover, clear or not, but Robin wanted to make sure
that I was done making hardware changes.  I think I'm finally done now !  The variable
fan speed circuitry is the very last change I think. (hope ?)

Small VWs?
Like type 1s? Or karhmann ghias?
