This divot in the Operator's panel was discovered as I was assenbling the rack panel operator's panel.

This is a full resolution image of the panel photos taken the day after unboxing, showing the divot in the operator's panel as it arrived and was unboxed. The divot can be seen in the full-resolution image if you zoom in.

Note: the image file is large (10k) so will take some time to load.

UPDATE: After emailing Jose & Oscar, I received a reply that indicated this divot was a known item caused when initial panels were too large and needed to be resized. I was assured (and it has been verified) that the divot would not show in the final build.
