Hello, all, An inspector found something that Steve Gregory named as "resistor acne" (all rights reserved to Steve). We were not able to figure out the possible causes and effect on the product reliability. Steve placed the picture on his site. Please go to http://www.stevezeva.homestead.com click on "Picture Page 2", then Look for "Resistor Acne"... Any idea will be welcomed.
