Label parts on the bottom silkscreen?

I was working on a Korg Polysix keyboard today and was pleasantly surprised at the effort that was put into making the PCBs easy to debug. In addition to little loop testpoints you can hook a scope probe onto, and labeling sections of the board with respective functions, they had labeled everything from the top panel, which was only visible from the bottom, solder side, with a second silkscreen showing the component symbols and part designators- no need to take the board out, and constantly flip it over to try to figure out which pad went to which component. Just a nice little throwback from the era of things built with repair in mind.





Also liked meaningful labels on the pins on the headers.

The trouble with the Korg Polysix is that it *needs* to be easy to repair because it's one of the most unreliable synths out there!!

But yeah, I agree - it *is* very nice to have things clearly labelled and useful test points and connections provided.
