Matagi components

Ordered some matagi winding checks. They were the same model check (both gold) but they were no where near the same shade. Is this normal for matagi?

I'm going to call tomorrow but thought I would ask to see other folk's experience with them.

I have never had that problem.

Are you sure that they are all Matagi components and not a mix of Fuji and Matagi?

Nope all Matagi.

I've been using the FUji as well and these are definitely the same style.

What metal Fuji components are available, and who carries them? Thanks, guys.

Anyone know if there are lime green metallics available for winding checks?

Batch to batch inconsistency is normal for anodized aluminum parts. A good anodizer works hard to control it, but there are so many variables to the process it is very difficult.
