I managed to put this in the PiDP11 group by mistake, so moving here where it belongs.

While starting to build my rack version of the PiDP1 kit, I discovered this 'notch' in the operator panel. I didn't notice it until starting the build today, but when the kit arrived I carefully unpacked everything and checked the packing for any small parts and there were no issues. I repacked everything after checking off against the parts list with lots of bubble wrap in several large boxes so nothing would be damaged.

Today I got out the operator panel pieces (again, no loose bits or anything broken off) and found this notch as shown in the photo while starting assembly. I am pretty confident it is a manufacturing issue and not caused by shipping or my storage.

Has anyone else found such an issue in their kits?

Thanks,

Here's another photo of the operator panel partially assembled (tape, no solder) to show scale a bit better...T1024_pidp1 operator (rack) panel overview (with notch) 2025-12-16.jpg

My operator panel does not have that divot.

I take a look later today if my rack kit had this notch. But i can't remind that mine had this while i'am building the kit.
