To all who sofar have replied, both on and off list: Thanks for the inputs, much appreciated.
 
Keith: Until very recently that was exactly my own stance (would go QRT if I could no longer do CW). However the probability of loosing my eyesight has changed that somewhat. Thanks for the information on audio quality when listening to WWVH, to know that the audio of the basic kit on SSB is not the same as when using the dedicated kit is important.
 
Gary: yes without the microphone connector it would look strange. I am a strong believer of doing a single thing and be good at it rather than trying to be a Jack of all trades and excell in nothing.
If I was to cover up the hole it needs to be done in a meaningful and visually pleasing way. Perhaps use the space for something else. One thing I have been thinking about is making a label with the "Fists" logo on it and sticking that over it, hi hi. In any case I would get a spare front just in case I needed to revert.
 
Although I have completed the noise blanker and the control board I am not in a hurry to make a decision. I am waiting for the rework eliminator kit to arrive and that gives me a bit of time to ponder over this.
