MintLP Protractor Issue. Anyone else?


Hello,
I went to use my MintLP Protractor last week to do a re-check of Arm, cause I had dis-mounted the Arm.

Last time I used it, was when I first recieved it, over a good year ago, maybe closer to two years.

What I have noticed with mine, that it was once a frosted transluscent clear overlay over a sheet of glass mirror has now changed.

Now I notice, that clear frosted color of the overlay has turned a dirty brown stained color. Anyone else have this happen?

Whether any other detrimental effects have occured, I am unsure, but this Protractor was always kept wrapped in its protective Plastic Bag, in its Cardboard Shipping Box, it shouldn't have turned a brown color, expecially not for what this protractor cost.

I'm thinking of emailing Yip, and asking why this happened, and what can be done about it? Mark

Am on my 3rd Mint LP in 3 years and apart from some scratch marks at the null points caused by the stylus , I have observed no other wear and tear and certainly no brown marks or discolouration of the kind Mark found. I live in a relatively more inhospitable climate in terms of heat and humidity etc
Happy listening

I compared the two Mint LPs I still have. The older one that came over 2years ago for the Triplanar does have a copper hue or tinge as compared to the one I received with the Talea(thanks Dan), which has a silvery white background. On second thoughts am not entirely sure if the older Mint was always this way. More important this is, I am sure, a cosmetic difference, and has no effect on usability .
Cheers
