Question: A friend of mine has a VMAR model from a couple of years back. It has a power module with removeable firewall. He mentioned to me that the plywood used was strong but was not attractive to look at. Is this still the case?

Answer: We have been upgrading our plywood and sourcing new supplies since early 2004. Except for older production that may still be in the distribution chain, all firewalls now have a better and cleaner appearance. That said, please note that we were dealing with a cosmetic issue here. All firewalls have been more than strong enough to work well with the model they were supplied with.
