Hey guys,
Just thought I'd make this thread because I'm currently in contact with a rep from Panasonic Industrial. He replied to my email and said that the FRs I (we) have are most likely early production runs from their Malaysian factory, where FRs are produced. I'm referring to their rather slipshod sleeving, that looks like it belongs on a G-Luxon, not a genuine Panasonic.
I attached some pictures of the FRs I had, and I'm still awaiting a reply. I really want to use FRs but they look like dump, and I like to see something that looks legitimate if I'm paying top dollar for it.
-- I remember someone saying that perhaps Panasonic is actually making the caps now, and not Matsushita. Which MIGHT be true, but don't you think that they would atleast put Panasonic on them somewhere, or make their own logo...?
--Also, there are several other new Panasonic cap series that came out last year or this year (TP, EE), and they are branding with the matsushita logo, so I don't know why the wouldn't with the FRs.
In the meantime, I've been studying FR a bit...I attached a photo.
The FC and the FR are the same exact size. On the FC, you can see that there is a continuous strip of words running down the side. It starts with the Matsushita logo and then progresses with temperature, and then series (FC). On the FR, it seems that there is almost a "hole" missing for where the Matsushita branding should go. I could be making up bologna, but it seems that way.
Notice that the sleeving is even more snugly fit onto the FC than it is on the FR.
Cheers!
